Product Info
As firearms became increasingly important on the battlefield, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth adapted its cavalry to emphasize speed and flexibility over heavy armour. Inspired by the renowned Kozacy cavalry, these mounted warriors were equipped with carbines or muskets alongside traditional sabres and other light weapons, allowing them to engage enemies at range before closing in.
