The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth

If you like to play aggressively with a highly maneuverable and hard-hitting force then you should surely consider the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth army. The renowned winged hussars are the worlds best cavalry. Supported by the cossack style cavalry and pancerni they are deadly. Only Swedish infantry can stand up to the charging winged hussars if their salvos are able to break the morale of the Polish winged knights. Poles have many excellent commanders, unfortunately private ambitions and animosity often impede effective operations. Similar animosity and friction can occur between Poles and Lithuanians. The army of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is an army of nobility the knights. Poles ght as long as other noblemen ght. If one unit of noblemen ees the morale of the Polish army falls apart like a house of cards. On the other hand the noblemen are not moved by the sight of destruction of plebian unit such as infantry and dragoons. After all who cares about peasants? The army of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth includes little infantry and poor artillery. As a result while being extremely dangerous in a pitched battle it is usually helpless in the face of well-prepared enemy defenses. In addition the terrifying winged hussars and veteran cossack and pancerni cavalry form only a small part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth army. It also includes masses of insubordinate levy of nobility that is more inclined to ee than charge and light cavalry called light as it lightly ees from the battleeld. It is also worth nothing that the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth army is usually small in numbers. When choosing this army you have t be aware that you will usually be outnumbered by the enemy.
