I guess it was solid change, after all de Souches was ex-Swedish soldier ;) that had rather good history of fighting against Sweden.Kadrinazihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04790146874809445505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007632461892109454.post-35434093750689413252013-01-08T15:45:39.192+04:002013-01-08T15:45:39.192+04:00I updated info about Corps commanders (materials a...I updated info about Corps commanders (materials are kindly provided by Dan Schorr)Gromoboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14513137327707308631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007632461892109454.post-42038149667532515492013-01-08T14:44:49.490+04:002013-01-08T14:44:49.490+04:00I plan to write about changes in the Corps composi...I plan to write about changes in the Corps composition in the next posts -). According to Opitz dragoon names were Spancko & Fleffinger, both of 8 coys. <br /><br />Wrede wrote that regiments were of 10 coys, 1000 cuirassiers or 1200 in total. But that time all regulations were not strict, so regiments could be 6-12 coys with 50-150 men per coy<br /><br />Do you know who took the command over the Corps after Hatzfedt's death in January of 1658?

Some of them were expanded to 10 companies but records of service during war shows different numbers (between 6 and 10), some regiments have one company of dragoons. <br />There were also two regiments of dragoons that joined imperial army in Poland - Spankau (formed in 1657) and Flettinger.
