No offense intended. It just seemed to make for a cool picture. From my post in the image contest it was entered in:

Not my most thumbed, but by far my favorite. I had just finished listening to No Simple Victory by Norman Davies and was reminded what a raw deal Poland got before, during and after WW II.

Thank you, that clarify the issue. Anyway, the picture is very good indeed. I wonder if there could be a chance of winning for the cavalrymen in such an A&A skirmish. Have to check out. Regards, Andrew.
