Second Polish cavalry platoon (Forged in Battle)

Painted up a second platoon of cavalry to boost my cavalry company a little (because having painted 120 cavalrymen for "By Fire & Sword" wasn't enough to fully break me). Having 2 mounted platoons is pretty much the optimal choice as 1 is both too weak to do anything on the offensive, and too small to use for defending anything. 2 platoons should be able to maneuver well enough on the battlefield, as 3 platoons would be extremely cumbersome with those huge cavalry bases.

As the title says, these models are from Forged in Battle, the second mounted cavalry blister in their range of Early War Poles. I much prefer this blister since they don't have lances but appear more correctly armed with rifle (and the occasional saber). I made the same choice back when I bought my first platoon of mounted cavalry from True North.

Some exciting expansion going on with my Early War Polish army and there are more units in the pipeline :-)
