As a proud historian I have no holes to pick in this, but the farmer in me would like to point out the first varieties of OILSEED RAPE were developed well into the 20th century XXX

@Chrisos1796 so, when exactly have you personally faced off against a lancer? Is there some modern coliseum I'm unaware of?

no problem- the charges started off with 1 of 2 French cavalry corps and other cavalry - about 5,000 men. After 1 hour Napoleon directly intervened by adding his other Heavy cavalry Corps which swelled the total up to around 10,000. The cavalry did not do too much damage except mentally drain the Allied infantry. The French artillery did terrible damage though against the Allied squares even though they were firing blind and lobbing shots over the ridge the allies were behind.

BTW, what do you think of Cold Steel's 1796 sabre? Is that what you use? Or is the peen not correct enough?

@van1980
Cheers, pretty hard to make a movie with one actor eh...
Yes you are right, my sabre is a cold steel. It's a good well made well balanced sword, but it's nowhere near as handy as an original. Also the blade is to narrow at the tip compared to a real one...
Cheers,

What happenned to your lance? no lance or cavalry rifle?
condorlegion89 2 years ago
Hiya, Hussar regiments were issued with a sabre, cavalry carbine and a braced of pistols...
The British army werent issued lances until 1816 - personally having fought lancers before my opinion is that they are a dreadful weapon for fighting a mounted opponent. Especially when the lancers are out of formation (it's so easy to manoeuvre past the point)
Cheers
