Mounted Livgardet

Their lack of armour means that they function more as a medium cavalry unit, ideal for escorting units, yet sufficiently strong to function as shock units against weakened enemies. Mounted Livgardet are not as strong as Cuirassiers which replace them later on -- but their greater mobility, along with their powerful, anti-range attack means that they are more than capable of striking down many infantry units - just not Grenadiers.
