Dragoons wield carbines and relatively good armour. They are used to skirmish the enemy and fire from range, whilst running if an enemy chases them, making them very effective against infantry. Even though Muscovite Tsardom and Cossack Hetmanate do not have dragoons, they have units that use late dragoon tactics, Moscow Reiters and Watchmen, for the Muscovite Tsardom and Cossack Hetmanate respectively. Most nations in the Western World raised at least one dragoon regiment between the 17th and 19th centuries.
