    Default Re: General Tactics

    My tactics will be simple: keep the enemy busy with infantry, move some infantry and artillery to concentrate fire to a certain spot, charge the weakened units with heavy cavalry. It's more or less the same I use in EB because it's imho the way combat is fought since the invention of war. The niceties must be judged after release.

    @ Polemists: Austria/Hungary had the best light cavalry in Europe imho. (Maybe together with Russia, I cannot appraise.) The Prussians suffered very much from it in a war of attrition and tried to create a similar force of it's own. And in the 1. Silesian War Austrian heavy cavalry was also clearly better than their Prussian counterparts.

    The queen commands and we'll obey
    Over the Hills and far away.
    (perhaps from an English Traditional, about 1700 AD)

    Drum, Kinder, seid lustig und allesamt bereit:
    Auf, Ansbach-Dragoner! Auf, Ansbach-Bayreuth!
    (later chorus -containing a wrong regimental name for the Bayreuth-Dragoner (DR Nr. 5) - of the "Hohenfriedberger Marsch", reminiscense of a battle in 1745 AD, to the music perhaps of an earlier cuirassier march)
