Unit description: Cuirassiers were cavalry equipped with cuirass armour, sword, and firearms, first appearing in late 15th-century Europe. The first cuirassiers were produced as a result of armoured cavalry, such as the men-at-arms and demi-lancers, discarding their lances and adopting the use of pistols as their primary weapon.

I'll assume range is 5? Because its not mentioned here.

Sorry forgot.
Made it six to be the same as mounted hangonneer.

well, pistol always had less effective range than otherguns

Wait, your right.

whats the difference between cuirrassiers and reiters? flavour-wise

The Reiter was commonly called "Schützenpferd" in German, they were "light" cavalry and had evolved in the 1540's. The Cuirassiers on the other hand were heavy lancers who had abandoned the lance in favour of the pistol. They would have more extensive armour of better quality

now I know

This could be an upgrade of reiter.

Cool

Heavy lancers with a pistol?
