Lancers were technically light cavalry but considered themselves the equal of better-mounted troops by dint of the dispiriting lance which would outreach enemy Sabres and enable them to dispatch infantry who ran or feigned death.
The Poles have been excellent horsemen for generations and in their innumerable clashes with Russia had learned to fight the lance-armed Cossacks, equipping themselves with a 9-foot wooden lance with a wicked spear point and coloured guidon beneath the blade.
This set contains 12 plastic easy-build Polish Line Light Horse Lancers with additional Polish metal heads. Plus 1 additional metal officer and metal horse and 1 optional metal arm for a bugler.
