Haythornthwaite, Bryan FosterPublisher:Os Publishing1992 48PagesISBN: 0850457467PDF22 MBDuring the Napoleonic era, Russia possessed a vast force of cavalry, forming a greater percentage than that of most European armies. This stemmed partly from their service against the Turks, who had huge numbers of troops, and partly from the fact that much Russian terrain was suitable for the manoeuvre of large bodies of cavalry. This companion volume to Men-at-Arms 185 examines the organisation, tactics and uniforms of the Russian cavalry during this dynamic and turbulent period, covering Cuirassiers, Dragoons, Hussars, Uhlans, Mounted Jägers and the Lifeguard, as well as the Opolchenie militia and Cossacks.UploadingDepositfiles 85 The first title in the Men-at-Arms series concerning the Russian Army of the Napoleonic Wars (Infantry: MAA 185) covers the character and essence of the Czar's army, and many of those comments are equally relevant to the cavalry, in the recruitment, character and conditions of service. Part of the "Men-At-Arms" series, this book looks at the cavalry forces of the Russian army of the Napoleonic Wars, illustrating their weapons, equipment and uniforms.
