@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...

[NoobSnoopy]

@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

[BartoszTheeOnly]

Exactly what i'm saying both of our countries had great warriors. Your infantry was by far superior than most nations, while we had amazing cavalry. Nice to see we can settle this.

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.

Very few were in this battle and this was their last battle. They realized that their tactics were of no longer of use during this time period. But during the 17th century they wouldn't have such problems because of the weaponry still used at that time. They wre used on the battlefield for over 100 years it's obvious their time was going to come. Just like in boxing every boxer has his bad fight......
