The Bosniak Lancer Corps

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

I wish I could go to war in my pajamas.

I'm so funny.

Svidja mi se uniforma posebno taj brko u akvarelu

[The Destroyer]

Jesmo bili elita. Btw, gledajući ove slike, zaključujemo da nije postojao Bošnjak bez brkova

Interesting, we mainly showed ourselves as light cavalery with the Deli horsemen and the Bosniaken Korps, it would be nice to see if we used light cavalery aswell during the middle age.

Enver Imamović once wrote that, as the medieval Bosnian army was almost always on the defensive, it mainly used guerilla warfare. And for guerilla warfare, the main unit types were archers and light cavalry. So, to answer your question yeah

Nowadays we are making our own self propelled artilley, just keeping the tradition of fast and deadly attacks

Malo je off-topic, ali radili smo to i u prošlom ratu. Samo je moglo pasti na pamet jednom Atifu Dudakoviću (i Naseru Oriću, u manjoj mjeri) da, potpuno opkoljeni i brojčano inferiorni u izolovanim enklavama, napadaju prvi i idu u ofanzivu. Ovo je Dudakov i Nanićev najbolji primjer toga.

Na kraju je samo kratko spomenuto, ali 5. Korpus je, protiv svih uobičajenih taktika ratovanja, krenuo u blic ofanzivu nakon neuspjeha četničke ofanzive, i to ubacivši specijalne diverzante "Hamze" i "Gazije" (505. bužimska brigada, Nanićevi ljudi) nekoliko kilometara iza leđa četnicima. Mnogo luđi generali se ne bi usudili na takve poteze.

Literally every country had mercenary companies. Nothing special.

Yes, but Bosniaks were the elite force of the Ottoman Empire (and even some European countries, as is evident) for 400 years, while Orthodox peasants worked plantations for their bey masters for 400 years. Don't you think that's a big difference? We have warrior genes and you have peasant genes?

You were more like Ottoman cannon fodder, which lost their dignity for a bowl of hot pilav. Well done.
Please, let's not start the talk about "muh ilirian worrior genez". Your mercenaries were outfought by Serb frontiersmen of Krajina.
And, by the way, it is well known who was servant on Balkans, and who resisted Ottomans for five centuries:

For full five hundred years did this little band of Montenegrin warriors sustain the unequal fight, and, though at their last gasp, refuse time after time to become allies of the unspeakable Turks. How many countries can boast of such a history, or what peoples of such ancestors?
