No Cheese! C'est Impardonnable
The Heavy Cavalry
Big men on big horse – is there anything else to say? The Cuirassiers and Carabiners were a terrifying sight to disorder or fleeing troops.
They were called ‘heavy’ mostly due to their formation during the charge and not not because of the breastplates they wore – which were only partially effective against musket shot.
I have used them a lot in games, but never very effectively. You really need to use them when the time is ripe and right. I, unfortunately am a very impatient tabletop general.
