The Winged Hussar (veteran) is the upgrade to the Polish Winged Hussar. The veteran unit carries better armor and a Thoroughbred Horse.

Tactics[]

Winged Hussars are a versatile unit in-game, they can be utilized in any situation. In a ground war against any opposition, it's best to quickly arrange them in rows, command them to mount horses (even though they are mounted, if they are stationary for too long, they will dismount) before letting them charge head on. During a siege, it's best to let your marksmen or infantry soften the enemies' defense before unleashing them into a fortress or town.

Despite their melee skills, keep in mind that they don't have any ranged weapons and are very vulnerable to musket fire in volleys. Hussars can change the tide of battles. Even if you are outnumbered, if you have a good company of Winged Hussars, they can demoralize the enemy entirely.
