The '''Hussar''' is a light [[cavalry]] [[unit]] that is featured in [[Age of Empires II]] and [[Age of Empires III]].
 
 
== Age of Empires II ==
 
The Hussar is an upgrade to the [[Light Cavalry]]. It is slightly stronger with more hit points.It is also significantly slower than Light Cavalry. Much thought should be given to future strategy because of this, as the speed of deployment of the light calvary is central to many strategies.
 
 
== Age of Empires III ==
 
Hussars are a fast light cavalry that use melee attacks and are useful against artillery, villagers, and some ranged infantry. The Hussars are also the basic cavalry unit in the whole entire game.
 
 
== Real Info ==
 
Initially Hussars fought in small bands, but were reorganised into a strong, highly-trained and motivated formation during the reign of King Matthias I Corvinus of Hungary. The Hussars proved to be useful against the [[Ottoman Empire]]'s [[Spahi|Spahis]] and many other enemy cavalry units. Soon after King Matthias' death the Hussars traveled to the Western European countries and was made into light cavalry formations. Soon the Hussars were used by the [[British]], [[German|Germans]], [[French]], and the Austrians.
 
 
On the eve of World War I there were still Hussar regiments in the British, Canadian, French, [[Spanish]], German, [[Russian]], [[Dutch]], Danish, Swedish, Romanian and Austro-Hungarian armies as the regular [[light cavalry]] [[unit|units]]. The Hussars were colorfuly dressed and influenced other countries without Hussars to dress similar to them. Soon when [[horse]] [[cavalry]] became useless the number of Hussars began to shrink and became converted to armoured units.
 
 
Today the Hussars are used by the British Army, the French Army, the Swedish Army, the Dutch Army, Canadian Forces, usually as tank forces or light mechanized infantry. The Danish Guard Hussars provide a ceremonial mounted squadron, which is the last to wear the slung pelisse.
