Here we get a look at the British Light and Heavy Dragoons: mainstay of the royal cavalry.

Hello again,

Today we'll have a look at some of the British cavalry that will be encountered in the mod, specifically the Dragoons and Light Dragoons.

The key difference between the troops (besides superficial uniform differences) is the role which they fulfilled. The role of the Dragoons was that of assaulting infantry formations (Dragoons being the 'heaviest' of the British cavalry) and acting as mobile infantry that can be repositioned to key points much quicker than foot-bound infantry.

Light Dragoons, on the other hand, were light cavalry meaning their duties included scouting, carrying despatches, combating other cavalry and dispersing enemy skirmishers. Similar duties were performed by British Hussars, as well, which you will see in a future update.

Remember that these, as always, are works in progress.

Thanks for reading this update, and look out for more in the future.

Damn that's really gorgeous .. Maybe one day you'll have the opportunity to sell your mod as a solo DLC to complete the Napoleonic Wars coming MP DLC.

I'ld definitely give a few bucks for something like that once its completed.
