The Interesting Fact

The interesting fact:
In the spring of 1812 (April-May), almost the all Russian Hussar regiments (10 of 13) got into service lances.
Three others - the Belorussia, Ol'viopol' and Lubny - got them in 1813, in Germany.
Only the first file of Sqn had lances.
So, we may arm rightfully 1/2 of all Sqns with that terrible weapon. :ugeek:
