Who kept noble prisoners captured in battle? @FelixGoldberg does that mean that it's disadvantageous to capture a higher-ranking prisoner? Because higher ranking nobles would keep them and get the ransom, not you. |

What kind of armor did the soldiers use in pre-gunpowder Southeast Asia? Is the lack of armour mostly due to technological limitation, climate, or other factors? |

How were war elephants used against cavalry? "It seems elephants has success against cavalry were used most effectively against close formation infantry". What do you mean by this? |

Why were there “hussars” all across Europe? In your bullet points, you said that uhlans and cossacks are tactically similar.. What did you mean? |

Why were there “hussars” all across Europe? Do you mean "uhlans" and "cossacks" are tactically similar to hussar? Or lancers? |

Why were there “hussars” all across Europe? "There really were not that many similarities between the two ages of hussars".. Then why were they called hussars? |

Army formation: veterans at the first line Other advantages of less experienced troops behind: They can push the new troops forward and can prevent them from fleeing |

What is the motivation of having heavy infantry to the right and light infantry to the left flank? Also, I suppose you mean this custom originated from the Greek tradition? But if it survived all the way through the Napoleonic Wars era, it must have some advantages for gunpowder infantry as well? |

What is the motivation of having heavy infantry to the right and light infantry to the left flank? Aren't skirmishers (normally the best shooters) considered elite as well? Why did they get the left flank? |
