think the best mdieval unit is:
chemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />>>
2/3 cavalry, 1/3 infantry>>
>>
CAVALRY :>>
5 000 Heavy Knights: most important part in my army, equiped with heavy gothic-plate armor of proff (witch resist agaisnt arrow, crossbow blots, pistol or arquebus balls) armed with lances and swords. Mounted on knightly horses equiped with heavy armor (bard with flanchard, crinet, crupper, peytral, shaffron)>>
1 000 light cavalry of mounted archers protected by a light armor with cuirass and mail, gauntlet, greaves also armed with gun pistol and sword, mace and shield>>
>>

- armed with shield, long knifes, dagger, sword, war hammer or axe or mace for hand to hand combat>>
2 000 archers (mix of longbowmen and arbalestrers)>>
2 000 men armed with gunpowder (arquebus for exemple)>>
2 000 pikemen (like Swiss Halberdiers) with hallebards or fauchards or gisarme,>>

Tactic:>>
- First attack by infantry shooting against ennemy>>
- Charge of heavy cavalry in 2 assaults to break ennemy ranks >>
- Assault by the rest of heavy cavalry and all the light cavalry against flanks of ennemy>>

Under a good chain of command, such army, with so many well-armored-heavy-knight cannot be defgeated by a medieval army.
