3) Cuirassiers (40 horsemen)

Sec Wp : -
Ability : disciplined

Note :
- Horsemen who is heavily armoured, but carry only swords and shields to hack through Malaka's supperior numbers of militia, didn't know clearly yet if they are dropped their lance (allready used), or delibrately deployed without lance, because we allready had lancers, we think that Curaissier type (like in AOE 3) are more likely.

Pri Wp : Javelins
Sec Wp : Longsword
Ability : normal, very hardy
Model : M2TW Jinetes - add some mail shirt protunding from inside, but kept leather facing
Note :
- Light cavalrymen with javelins are employed as portugese's primary form of cavalry when they assault Jayakarta, Banten, and especially prevail in Timor and Maluku.... who is them except the famous Jinetes? (not know the true name yet... but they are certainly fought as light cav with javelins and swords)

Sec Wp : -
Ability : normal
Model : M2TW Swordsmen Militia - relatively untouched
Note :
- Basic garrison infantry for Portugese, taken from europeans and armed with swords... well, maybe they depicted as didn't got buckler (just carrying swords in Hikayat Melayu), but I think adding a buckler is still acceptable.

Note :
- and proffesional gunners who could fight in hand to hand (they failed to break the malaka's gun troopers in gun duels, but after all ammo are depleted, they are charging with their swords and win quite easily in Sulalat Us Salatin... the malakans blame the sudden tidal wave that made their gunpowder wet, but I think they really has some melee prowess as depicted in M2TW

Note :
- The long range gun - skirmishers

Model : M2TW Musketters - relatively untouched
Note :
- Several account of Portugese employs "someone who could shot men dead in well aimed shots" and not just volleys are present in Hikayat, Sulalat, and Babad Tanah Jawi... maybe adding some body piercing gunners will emulate that (or made their missile values far higher?)
