Red Box 122 1/72 16th-17th c. Korean Heavy Cavalry ent. Set 2

It is easy to imagine the heavy cavalry of Korea being an elite that would be expected to win battles almost by themselves, but the mountainous terrain of much of Korea and the growth of missile troops greatly diminished their impact, and this would be further reduced with the introduction from Japan of cheap and reasonably reliable firearms during the war of 1592-98. In any event heavy cavalry such as these were not numerous in Korea, nor well led much of the time, and in a campaign dominated by sieges and skirmishes rather than large set-piece battles, other military elements had much more say on proceedings. Nevertheless the sight of a heavily armoured man on horseback much have been an imposing sight for both friend and foe.
