The Army of Free Frozonia



the core of the Frozonian army, the famous Winged Hussars

       Tiny, but fierce and famously independent, the reborn army of the Seventh War of Frozoniain Emancipation has at it's center the battle-dominating Winged Hussars. Drawn from the landed gentry each Hussar competes with all the others for splendor, heroism and fame. Like the ancient Vikings they consider dying in battle to be this highest honor to which a man can aspire. Hussars are accompanied by the vassals from their estates who serve in large units of levies, they lack a great deal of martial skill but can control areas of the battle field by their sheer numbers and considerable staying power. Other Freemen serve as well; those wealthy enough to own horses serve in the famed Lisowczycy Light Horse, scouting ahead of the army and harassing the enemy's flanks during battles. Humble Freemen serve on foot in the Haiduks, fierce warriors that combine their muskets with heavy bardische axes (used as musket rests when shooting). These nimble soldiers can scout rough terrain and move freely about the battlefield hunting for opportunities to discomfit the enemy.The individual units of the army can be quite powerful but this force is very sensitive to casualties given the small population that it is drawn from.
