12te Palatinal Husar Regiment

     The Hungarians were excellent horsemen and serving in infantry was not their first choice. "... they were convinced that they were unsuitable for dismounted service... All the regulations in the world nevertheless failed to shake the conviction among the Hungarians that to be 'stuck among the infantry' was the worst fate that could befall them." (Duffy - "Instrument of War)

     The Hungarians formed light cavalry known as hussars. 'Hussar' derives originally from Latin cursarius, meaning raider, and originally referred to marauders in the northern Balkans. Then it was adopted by the Magyar people of Hungary as the name for irregular light cavalry. The oldest regular regiment was formed in 1688 and by 1756, with the formation of the Kaiser Hussars and regularisation of a Jagzyier-Kumanier unit in that year, there were 12 regiments. The wild irregulars were steadily regularised into army units. While maintaining their reputation for swift movement and unexpected appearances, they became more effective on the battlefield.

     The Hungarian hussars serving in the Austrian army had reputation of being excellent horsemen known for quality of their mounts. They had been familiar figures since XVII Century and had been imitated by other armies. Although the Hungarian hussars were not of big height, they were known for dash in combat. They became so known in Europe that their outfit became popular across Europe, including France, Russia, England and Spain.

     The outposts, patrols and pickets were a key role for the light cavalry during war. Any Hungarian hussar found asleep or drunk on such duty was subject to execution. The hussars raided the countryside and even towns. Recruitment of hussars was on volunteer basis but selection was to be strict. Under no circumstances were recruits to include dishonorable professions, notorious people, gypsies. The recruits were not to be less than 18 nor more than 30 years old. Western volunteers, especially better-educated southern Germans, were also welcomed.

     Austrian Hussars consisted of 12 regiments. 12 Palatinat Husar Regiment was raised in 1800 as a part of the Hungarian Insurrection in the Districts of the Jazyger, Cumans and Hayduken. In that year it was reassigned as a Regular Hussar Regiment. The Colonel-in-Chief was always the Hungarian Palatin.

Recruiting Information

     Currently we are recruiting people. We have absolutely no restrictions except language knowledge and timezone. Our regiment is European and English-speaking, so English language proficiency is essential. There are trainings in plans, which consist of cavalry and line infantry trainings. Line infantry trainings will be held due to possible participation in events as line or light infantry, not the cavalry. We also have a Teamspeak channel, sadly not separate, where all the communications are done. You may contact us about joining via Steam profiles listed below.
