The fall of Polen in the late 1600s early 1700s is quite interesting, Polish hussars saved Christendom from the Turks, But by GNW was quite useless.
It does go to show, armor, and lances doesn't really matter, it's all moral and tactics. The Swedes with their smaller horses would beat Poles, Danes, and Saxons simply by better leaders, more aggressive tactics, and unit cohesion.
It does put the whole wargaming Heavy/light cavalry into question.
I personally think cavalry for the horse and musket period, should only be classed by tactics and "quality"
I don't think cuirassiers should get an automatic bonus just because they have tin boxes on their chest.
I look forward to your next game! It was beautiful and I see most of the figures on both sides where ebor, with only some warfare Saxon cav and TAG poles, plus the WGF plastic Saxon infantry?
