History Hakkapeliitta (Swedish - Hakkapeliter) - national reiters recuited from Finns, one of the most powerful, dangerous and fearsome toys in the hands of Swedish kings in XVIIth century, especially during Gustav's II Adolf reign and thirty-years war. The term "Hakkapeliitta" was based on Finnish battle cry "hakkaa päälle", which means "Cut them down". Their equipment didn't differ much from other reiter units, but what distinguished them, was the the havoc they wreaked on the enemy's land and their effectivity both as a light cavalry (which they supposed to be) and a heavy (in the battle of Lützen they fought against imperial cuirassiers). During several wars between Sweden and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Hakkapeliitta managed to defeat even legendary winged hussars... In Germany there was created a prayer saying: "Lord, protect us from the horrible Hakkapeliitta"
[size=18pt]About us Our clan exists since March 2013. After the fall of CzKR and short life of its successor, PpKR, we decided to create a completely new clan under my command. We cooperated with many Polish clans, but it seems that for a long time we'll remain strongly connected with 14 Pułk Kirasjerów from Napoleonic Wars. Today we are one of the major clans on The Deluge scene - I write this thread because we are going back in time and starting the conquest of Europe yet 100 years before our existance
PS: Our ranks are Swedish as we play whole Swedish army, not only Finnish.And Finninsh sounds too weird XD
