"The plan was simple: the Cossacks (lancer cavalry) led the charge with their pointy lances pointed at the enemy. They're not really good at hand to hand combat, just the charge, so we came up with brilliant of him (Cossacks guy) leading the charge; he would then retreat and let my other friend's Cavalry Guard charge in.

When they started taking some casualties they would pull back and my rifles would be in position to shoot one devastating volley before the cavalry charged back in at full force."
