Overview

The Cavalry classes specialise in Horseback Riding to scatter lines, chase down skirmishers, and disrupt artillery.

Hussars are swift, sabre-focused light cavalry. Their increased sword damage while mounted and higher speed make them deadly in charges. Fire a pistol on approach, draw steel, and commit.
Cuirassiers & Dragoons (mounted carbineers) excel at accurate firearm use from horseback. Mobility lets them harass, pick targets, and fall back to friendly lines. Master mounting, dismounting, pacing your horse, and shooting from the saddle for best results.

Mounted carbineers. Skirmish and harass with accurate firearm fire from horseback, then reposition quickly.
