Reitar Pistoleers are a silver era musketeer cavalry unit.
In-Game Description[ | ]
During the brutal thirty-year war, a gunpowder revolution took root. Knights from the Rhineland region shed their heavy armor, retaining only essential defenses, abandoning their lances in favor of matchlock guns for combat. Employing a stately caracole tactic, they relied more on firearm than charges. However, Gustav II Adolf took a different approach. He instructed his Rhineland cuirassiers to forsake the tactic and the cumbersome long muskets, opting instead to engage fearlessly with short ones at close range before unsheathing their swords to charge. "The lionhearted cuirassiers do not open fire until they see the whites of their enemy's eyes." Such were the words of a general who witnessed firsthand these cuirassiers firing at point-blank range, then drawing their cavalry swords to ruthlessly cut down their mechanically advancing enemies who adhered to the caracole tactic. Amidst the chaos of war, where the desperate seek life, this unit seemed to resurrect the fearless charging stance on the battlefield, a century after the fully armored knights had succumbed to gunpowder defeat.
