France and the Hapsburg fight to gain ascendancy over Italy, involved are most of the Italian city states or lordships and even most of the European states. The war remains for more than sixty years on the Italian peninsula.
The first hussars were supposedly Serbian noblemen, which had fled to Hungary. In difference to those early hussars, which were only lightly armoured, these cavalrymen are clad in plate armour. These may burden their horses with extra weight, but it gives these Hussars the steadfastness in melee that earlier hussars lacked. They distinguish themselves with bravery and courage and will decide battles with their deadly and thunderous charge.
