Description
The 17th Century saw large standing armies in action all over Europe, innumbers previously undreamt of, and huge numbers of infantry, artillery andcavalry were raised. The cavalry of the period were mostly of the heavy variety;big horses that could barge other enemy cavalry and intimidate infantry, whilecarrying a determined rider protected by, at the very least, aback-and-breastplate, and usually a sturdy helmet.
The cavalryman’s offensive arms started with at least one pistol, asword or pole axe for close-quarter fighting, and possibly a carbine. Cavalrywere formed into squadrons, regiments and finally into brigades and were usuallyemployed en masse in a cavalry wing on either flank of the infantry line.
If a cavalry wing routed its opponents, that left it free to attack theflanks of engaged enemy infantry. This could be a battle winner, unless thejubilant horsemen galloped over the hills and far away in pursuit ofplunder!
These models can built to represent Royalist or Parliamentarian cavalry inthe English Civil Wars or to be fielded as one of the many and varied regimentsduring the Thirty Years War.
