Roughriders are CC unit. Polish lancers fought like infantry, they used
horses mainly for movement. There were few charges (against infantry, not
tanks!) - very successful ones, but mainly thanks to the local conditions.
Generally they dismounted and fought on foot (you make much smaller target
when not on horse :). Their main advantage was strategical, not tactical,
mobility - you don't need fuel and spare parts for the horse.
