Title : Aderkas Kurassier

Poor quality horseflesh and a lack of money and armour meant that heavy cavalry was in short supply for the Swedes. This Livonian regiment was one of the few who saw battle fighting for Gustavus.This two squadron regiment should be a relative rarity in the Swedish/North German armies. I have kept the size of my Protestant Heavy horse units to two squadrons.If you choose to deploy Kurassier try and restrict them to 3-4 squadrons either deployed between the flanks or as a central reserve.
