Wow, thank you so much for the information. Is the hungarian style of combat very similar to the saracen method? (due to geography i would assume there is a lot of crossover.

Hungarians were "true" nomad warriors in the IX.-X.th cent., then were "christianized", had classical knights and some steppe troops, like the cumans. In the XV.th cent. the Ottoman Empire changed the whole warfare, the hussar was born on the southern borders of Hungary as a response to the Ottoman raiders. I try to make such an early hussar equipment, which is almost the same as a well-equipped Turk horse archer, or an early sipahi. So as a Hungarian I can "play" anything from a templar knight to a nomadic horseman, there is no style of combat, which is only Hungarian. The saracens were also eastern horsemen, who used the lance like everybody in Asia and Eastern-europe. They just wrote it down and that is the great thing.:)
