@NoobSnoopy You cannot compare those two. Polish winged hussars were a heavy cavalry while hakkapeliitas were a light cavalry,trained to perform completly different tasks. You can compare Polish Rajtars with the hakkapeliitas...
@BartoszTheeOnly Id hate to bump in and say that Poland didnt have sutch great cavalry during this time period, and it was stronger then Sweden in economical terms. The superiority of the swedish cavalry won most battles in Poland during the great north war wile the infantry won most battles against Russia. Anyway I never think there is any need to defend national prestige in historical war matters, practically all of the old nations of europe have had military glory and disasters, Sweden aswell
Yes, But the Hussars also got to old to use on a battlefield, When the enemies weaponry got more advanced e.t.c. But i do have deep respect for the Hussars, They were probably one of the best cavallry the Swedes ever faced along with the Holy Roman Empires heavy Cavallry.
You can clearly see the differences between that army in Kircholm with the army gustav II Adolf created.
And during the Great Northern War when the Swedish army consisted of mainly good trained Swedes and people from the Swedish provinces poland and the other nations couldnt put up much.
Kircholm, The Swedish army consisted mainly of low trained peasents and merceneries. Try again. Against a Drilled Swedish army the Poles couldnt offer much.
@joonte1010 Might have been. But the Karoliners Karl the 12th Soldiers were the best in whole Europe. They had extreme dicipline and faith that made them win battles like Battle of Narva. Since Sweden only has 9 million people today think how many they had back then, below 6 million thats for sure. So high numbers wasn't a posibility, only quality and good training.
polish forces were 6500 man in this battle and we withdrawed whole polish units from battle after 14 p.m., polish lost only 80 soldiers, swedish 1000 dead and 900 wounded, saxon lost 2700 soldiers and 1000 prisoners ( with 80 polish )
