		At the battles of Kircholm (1605) and Gniew (1656), Polish cavalry showed they could beat the best Western infantry, and they played a key role in routing the Ottoman forces at the siege of Vienna (1683).
		Musket fire needed to be concentrated in volleys to be destructive because the weapons were so inaccurate (effective range was only about 75-100 yards - a modern army rifle has a range of about 400 yards) and because misfires were so common.

	The Rise To Power (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		From 1609 Poland became involved in a series of wars and was invaded by Swedes, Turks and Muscovites in such numbers that the country was almost submerged by enemy forces; this period became known as the "Deluge".
		The devastation and loss of life were tremendous and Poland was only saved by a number of outstanding military commanders (Jan Zamoyski, Stanislaw Zolkiewski, Jan Karol Chodkiewicz and Stanislaw Koniecpolski) who archived some great victories (Kluszyn, 1610; Kircholm, 1605;; Chocim, 1612).
		One historic episode during the "Deluge" was the defence of Czestochowa, Poland's most sacred shrine containing the picture of the Virgin Mary (the "Black Madonna"), by a small force led by the Prior and his monks against a besieging army of 9,000 Swedes.
