Wonderful AAR for this action! During the siege of Vienna 5,000 Tatars sent out as a blocking force took one long look at the Polish Cavalry and retreated at a gallop, through the Turkish camp and over and around their siege lines. Nobody has ever described when and where they stopped.

DEATH TO BEGOVIA!
