Additional Army Lists – late 17th century.

 The Polish have been added to the collection of late 17th century armies and thinking of possible enemies to collect I found them not present among the list of armies in the DBA-HX3 variant. That will slowly be rectified and below you will find the Cossacks are listed here. The Don Cossacks has the option to field more cavalry, nonetheless, musket armed infantry remains the backbone of those listed here. I had pondered the addition of war wagons to the list, but these may be integral to a Cossack encampment. If so used, then suggest counting their number as part of an army total. The Ottoman Turks and Tatars will follow next week. 

Any comments or suggestion, please post them to the section, DBA in the Age of Gunpowder board, at the Fanaticus Forum (link)

Use the Ukrainian Cossack list; peasants are now mandatory and all axe armed Moloitsy become pikemen .
