These should work!

Thanks Peter. Sorry I bungled it

Worth the wait! That proper cavalry that is!

Unfortunately, I now want to paint some hussars. 

No worries, i think the youtube button just didn't work  

I just typed the direct link and that does it

You know you want to!

Some very nice links. The second one gives you an idea of how quickly cavalry could close to combat, especially if they suprised you before you had time to form square etc.

Just a quick note, I've edited the original post to embed the videos.

Great stuff!!

>>The second one gives you an idea of how quickly cavalry could close to combat, especially if they suprised you before you had time to form square etc.

My thoughts exactly.   Amazing how quickly they rode up that hill.

By the time you had worked out who's side they were on, it would be too late
(particularly worrying if your commander is short-sighted before the introduction
of specs).

(I'm sure I've read that this was a problem for Tallard at Blenheim).

Thanks for posting these - some pretty inspirational stuff.

Good find !
thanks for posting KTravlos !

Yes, those donkey-wallopers can certainly budge along. Hmm... Food for thought there. Nice find, thanks for sharing. 

Very interesting

According to the friend that posted the Danish video, they are operating in skirmish order, which would be the default way to do in 1864.
