Pike & Shotte Epic Battles: English Civil WarsCavalry
Huge numbers of cavalry were fielded in the warfare of the 17th century. Themost common being light cavalry harquebusiers, armed with doglock carbines whichcould be fired from the saddle. Parliament cavalry initially relied on pistolsrather than an all-out charge with cold steel, as favoured by the dashingRoyalist cavaliers, though by war's end full blooded charges werethe norm.
Cuirassiers were rare in the English Civil Wars, limited to only a fewsquadrons of mainly bodyguards. Individuals would wear what armour was availableno matter its antiquity and can be mixed into harquebusier regiments. Dragoonswere common to all sides and could dismount to hold tactical positions, such asbridges, but could also fire from the saddle if needed.
All armies of the period fielded as much ordnance as they could afford, fromfearsome large Sakers to small field pieces like the Falconet, spewing out alethal hail of shot at point blank range.
