    The hussars! I was infatuated with them too when I first read of them.

    They had nice armor, but I think Hakkapeliitat were much more scarier.

    I agree, Hakkapelitta didn't take prisoners, so was greatly feared, but only because of this

    Of course, but Hakkapelitta was rather specialised light cavalry whereas Husaria was doing all kinds of 'jobs' and fighting all types of enemies from Sweden, Hapsburg, Russia to the Ottomans and the Crimean Tatars

    + Hakkapelitta in PMTW 2.0
