I am a Laowai who lives in China; I could join your group.  Do you have TS or Mumbl?  My Chinese isn't very good, but I can understand the basics.

Here's my question for the experts:

Dogfighting.  A battle between two cavaliers in an open area that allows for maneuvering.  What are the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of cavaliers?  How do you defeat the different types of cavaliers?  What are the ideal attack patterns?  My experience in this regard is meager, but I understand it as follows:

Hussar:  The key here is unhorsing; the only reliable way to defeat a hussar as a hussar is to swipe off their horse.  There are two ways you can do this - you can tailgate them by taking a position immediately behind and to one side and whittling down their horse, or you can cross their T and make them slam into you.  Obviously, this tactic will have limited use if you're fighting a lancer.  Knocking them down and then coming around for the kill is the best option, I think.

Lancer:  Unless you're fighting another lancer, the best choice is obviously to head-on, though evasive action may be necessary to avoid gunfire.

Dragoon:  Dragoons are best at dogfights, I think, because they can shoot out the enemy horse.  Just remember that you can only shoot left!

Cuirasseur:  Cross the T; it's your only hope.

Strangefields is the best map for intimate engagements, in my opinion.  For larger fights, I love Borodino.

What's that map that keeps popping up in Siege?  The one where there's a full-length fortress wall with all the cannons on top, and the attackers have to cross a river that's right in front of the wall and bring up ladders?  That map is insanely laggy, and I've never seen the defenders win it.  Of course, it don't help that some idiot on the inside always opens the gate...

I would donate, but I find myself taking a moral stance against Paypal's perfidies and bad behaviors.  Is there some what I could just mail a paper check to someone?

I cannot work up the slightest sense of angst about this.  Let the ladies (or anyone else) play as ladies, seriously.

The teamwork requirements would be astronomical.  If it was line battles with solid teamwork on each side, I could see it working for special occasions, but for just pub drop-in, it'd be a mess.  People would get in kick-fights over the rudder.

Also, you'd have the problem of pertinence.  So we've got one captain who steers, some guys manning the cannons, and some guys as marines, right?  Except that when the gunners are doing something, the marines aren't, and vice-versa.  If you just make it so that there's one class that can do both, then you either a) need enough cannons for everyone, and make it so that there's no reason to ever go corps-a-corps, or b) give people non-shooting non-fighting jobs to do, which nobody will ever do.

The idea of specialized, synchronized skill-sets has always fascinated me.  If you had two good, disciplined groups, then this could be an absolute blast.  But if any parts didn't fit, or anybody wasn't willing to fit, it'd collapse.
