Description

This is a compilation video I made from previously unpublished raw footage taken in January 2017. The server (http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/groups/officialnrpcommunity) will soon shutdown due to planned migration of assets toward the NW's spiritual successor named Holdfast: Nations At War which is now available on Steam.

Regarding the title... Hussars are the fastest units in M&B:W-NW, which means they can (with good positioning and a bit of luck) engage and disengage from combat fairly quickly. As is the case with all cavalry, best results are achieved in cooperation with other friendly units (especially infantry) and this principle applies particularly to light cavalry (such as hussars) which doesn't have the strength to charge head-on and sustain heavy damage. Instead, if you're patient enough and wisely use your superior speed, you can easily surprise your enemies and ride them down with virtually no opposition. These hit'n'run attacks feel quite similar to what I've experienced in War Thunder's air battles, applying boom'n'zoom tactics (diving on an enemy with guns blazing, keeping my energy advantage by zooming away and regaining altitude once I've opened up some distance). In this video you'll mostly see me circling and trying to get into a better position from which I could mount a more efficient attack or, in other words, preparing to boom'n'zoom 19th century style. During editing, my aim was to showcase the most interesting parts of these battles from my own perspective, regardless if I succeed or fail during a charge. Hope you'll enjoy.

- Edited with: Freemake Video Converter, Shotcut (you can do everything in Freemake, but Shotcut gives you better transitions), YouTube custom bluring enhancement for objects in motion (Shotcut only does stationary)
- CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 630 2.8 GHz
- GPU: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5
- Resolution: 1440x900 (sadly, 1080p destroys my framerate although it stays fine on many newer games)
