ESR Series 3 Historical Unit Types

When we developed our ESR Series 3 Campaign Guides we decided to use native terms for each nationality’s historical military units – This means that instead of calling all hussars ‘hussars’, English ones would be ‘hussars’, French ones would be ‘hussards’, German speaking states would likely call them ‘husaren’, the Russians would call them ‘gusary’, and the Spanish would call them ‘húsares’.

For convenience we also wanted to provide an easy reference of equivalencies so that players could quickly see what each nation called a given troop type.
