I don't believe this is true, but shock me Sleek.

Why isn't it? I left the 9y after they became the TRH.

Well if you aren't trolling good luck buddy.

Why would this be trolling? I decided to start my own regiment, did I say you were trolling when you started yours a while back?

Besides that, thanks.

Thanks all, the thread would be neat if I wasn't just sitting here on my phone at work looking at the forums and if there was a computer I could use. ::)

2932
Probably Sunday, as the really only NA battle is the SadraGoons, but make sure your server isn't garbage

2933
I had a event on Wednesday a few months ago, the problem was with attendance since like 95% of regiments have training on Wednesdays, so that might be a problem

History

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 ofmounted troops) and partly from the fact that much Russian terrain was suitable for the manoeuvre of large bodies of cavalry. An estimate of 1805 gave a cavalry total of 3,316 rank-and-file in the Guard; 49,738 in the Line; and 2,189 officers and 98,211 irregular cavalry-though the 'College of War' in 1795 had estimated the irregulars at 77,484 enrolled men, and at least 100,000 more to be embodied in wartime. The cost to the Czar of maintaining a dragoon for a year was 35 roubles (12 for maintenance, 13 for clothing and ten for horse furniture), plus forage and rye-meal-an incredibly small sum when compared with the expenses of other armies: a 'military phaenomenon', according to a British commentator. While the rank-and-file of the regular cavalrywere generally as solid and reliable as their counterparts in the infantry, it seems that whereas infantry officers were reviled as being generally ignorant and idle, cavalry officers usually enjoyed a much higher reputation; the British oberver Sir Robert Wilson noted that they attended their duty 'with great zeal and diligence'.


 
In no other branch of the army, were so many volunteers and footloose lads. Many came from families with a long military tradition and were excellent swordsmen and horsemen who were familiar with horses since they were kids. Hussars’ gaiety around a bottle of wine, or vodka, and their rolling swagger were well known. Opening the bottle of wine with a saber cut and drinking from woman’s shoe were ones of their many customs. In every hussar regiment existed camaraderie and pride of belonging to a special group within the army. There was saying: “Regiment is your family” and “Honor of your regiment - is honor of your family.”

In the ranks of the Mariupol Hussars served Russians, Poles and Lithuanians. In 1805 at Durrenstein - together with infantry - they mauled French 4th Dragoon Regiment. In 1812 near Smolensk, the Mariupol and Elisavetgrad Hussars impressed Sir Robert Wilson. He considered their courage and skill in the maneuver as unsurpassable. At Valutina Gora their attack at Lubino caused considerable damage to enemy's infantry (described as "chopped on the spot"). At Vilno they captured Color of the 9th Cuirassier Regiment. The Mariupol Hussars' hour of fame came in fall and winter of 1812 during the pursuit of Napoleon's Grande Armee. They participated in numerous small combats and captured hundreds of prisoners. In February 1813 they were awarded with 22 silver trumpets for the 1812 campaign.

Battle at Katzbach and Leipzig

In 1813 at Katzbach they made a gallant charge which put the French cavalry into flight. For this exploit the monarch awarded them with badges on shakos with inscription "For distinction 14 Aug. 1813". In Leipzig in 1813 they fought between villages of Eutritzsch and Schönefeld and together with the Ahtirka hussars broke French troops and chased across the Parthe River. Then, despite the fire from French artillery they struck the flank of the III Cavalry Corps. The enemy broke and sought refuge behind infantry. In few minutes the French were seen in every direction for miles rearward with hussars on their heels. A half thousand prisoners and 5 guns were captured. This defeat shook the French infantry on the other side of the river. (Description in Nafziger's "Napoleon at Leipzig"). In 1814 at Brienne they participated in the defeat of infantry of Young Guard but at Craonne the cavalry of Old Guard routed them.
