SWE-1 Company Of Swedish Reiters

Reiters were the basic cavalry formation in the Swedish army and the Western-style cavalry in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In the late 17th century Reiters rarely used armor and instead they preferred to wear buff-coats and hats. Their main weapon was a brace of pistols and a sword. In battle, depending on the situation they used the caracole or charged. In the field Reiters, supported by dragoons, made up the main force of the army.
