extrait
In the 17th century, the Hungarian military structure comprised three sections: nobles troops, Militia Portalis, and general levies (called insurrectionis). Every Hungarian and Croatian aristocrat was obligated to military service, the so-called Primipilus, and was also charged with the duty of recruiting certain soldiers dependent on the value of his property. For every 20 farms or masserias – portae – one cavalryman and infantryman had to be equipped for the Militia, and these troops were originally identified as Militia Portalis. If the Hungarian Parlament voted for a general call to arms, each farm would add an additional horseman and one foot soldier to join the army. Historically, the Austrian Hofkriegsrath had tried to progressively reduce the aristocrat's influence on the militia, maintaining only the formal existence of the ‘Insurrection'. The long period of peace from 1606 to 1663 influenced the Kingdom of Hungary's defence policy, causing a deep stagnation in military matters. If, theoretically, the Insurrectionis could assemble more than 80,000 men in 1660, only 15-20,000 were actually suitable for a campaign. On 14 July 1663, the Hungarian army, assembled on the left bank of the Danube between Bratislava and Érsekújvár, totalled just 9,000 poor equipped men. Imperial General Raimondo Montecuccoli described them as "for the most part inexperienced villains, forcibly detained and therefore ready to escape from the field, or not accustomed to facing the enemy, poorly armed and obliged to stay in the country for only a few days".[1] The military discipline of this hastily equipped and trained levy remained erratic and often low. However, on some occasion, particularly in defensive actions and led by capable officers like the banus Miklós Zrínyi, the Hungarian and Croatian militia behaved valiantly, fighting alongside the best equipped and trained Grenzer bordersmen or professional soldiers.

Effectivement, ça à l'air d'être une excellente série. Merci pour ce retour très détaillé :D
When I go home, people ask me, "Hey Hoot, why do you do it, man? You some kind of war junkie?" I won't say a goddamn word. Why ? They won't understand why we do it. They won't understand it's about the men next to you... and that's it.
