SCENARIO: The Napoleonic Wars

[Steph]

Yes, Ulhan is basically a lancer, from Polish origin I think (you have one, number 4, in the Polish unit picture).

There started to be used widely around 1790. The were included in the cavalry of Austria, Prussia, Poland, and Russia mainly.

Napoleon was impressed by the Polish Ulhan, so he decided to incorporate a new regiment in his Imperial Guard, called the "Polish lancer". Then he added another regiment, with a red uniform, known as "Dutch lancers" or "Red lancers".

I will post pictures of them latter, when I come back to France.

 

[Jon Shafer]

Any suggestions on stats for them that are different enough to warrant a new unit? I think I may have nearly exhausted every possibility for a unique cav unit within the same time period.

 

[Steph]

No idea of a way to make them different...
Except if we get a bonus against cav flag in PTW (the lance being longer than the sword, it can give the Ulhan an advantage).

I thing the best would be to used them for Poland instead of Cuirassier, as Poland had no cuirassier. The Ulhan should have a good attack, but lower defense thant cuirassier.

 

[Jon Shafer]

I'll make it a Polish replacement for the Cuirassier then. I really don't have any clue how to add another kind of unit into the scenario at this point without drastically changing others.

Oh, and the naval unit list is up in the first post.

Austria had until 1809 64 infantry regiments. 5 were Wallon, 1 Italian, 1 Croat, 12 Hungarian and the others German.
Austria also had 17 bounder regiment, and 1 chasseur corps.
In 1812, Austria had 8 Cuirassiers regiments, 12 Hussar regiment 3 Ulhan regiments, 6 dragoon regiments, and 6 Chevauxleger.

In 1805, Russia had 13 Grenadiers regiments, 83 musketeers regiments and 26 chasseurs regiments.
Russian cavalry had 6 Cuirassiers regiments, 30 Dragoon regiments, 8 hussars regiments, 2 horse regiment (ulhan).

In 1812, there were 12 ulhan regiments, with the converion of 7 dragoon regiment to ulhan. 8 other Dragoon regiments were converted into chasseurs à cheval.

The Russian Imperial Guard had in 1811:

- 1 hussar regiment
- 1 cossack regiment
- 1 ulhan regiment
-1 dragoon regiment
- 1 chasseur a cheval regiment (1814)

Russia also had 10 cossacks regiments

To finish, here are the russian names of cavalry (but I don't speak Russian, so I hope it's correct)
- cuirassier = kyrasi
- dragoon = dragounski
- hussar = gousari
- horse = konni
- chasseurs à cheval = konno iégurski
