So we have Reiters - what next?
Dragoons?
I can think of mounted AND dismounted soldiers (within one set)

dragoons would be good, as wouldsomemore additions to the polish range. what about Pancerni and cossacks, infantry etc. These reiters and the musketeers etc make excellent mercenary units for a thirty years war polish army.

Might be a good idea - thanks! BTW there are already 2 sets from this period (roughly, as Husaria cavalry units served for 300 years, including 30 Year's war) Polish Winged Hussars - Set 1 Polish Winged Hussars - Set 2
But Pancerni and Lisowczycy (famous scouts / light cavalrymen) could be added as well - so not promising (as I got couple already work-in-progress projects and some further planned) but will seriously think about such sets, especially that some basic figurines are ready.
