Are there rules for horses in Bolt Action. I am not thinking of major cavalry units I just mean like a mounted patrol or horse teams for artillery. I know there were thousands of horses used by the Germans, Russians and several of the smaller nations for all types of things. I also just stumbled into a few very nice mounted figures and was trying to figure out if there is an official way to use them or if I will have to house rule them. |

I would think that at Bolt Action's chosen scale, horses would likely be kept off table and away from the actual combat zone. |

WW2 did have at least one successful cavalry charge. That said I do not remember cavalry rules in BA but it was not a priority when I was reading through it. |

Yes, there are rules and unit organisations for cavalry troops in Bolt Action. |

page 89 of the second ed rule book. And then your lists are in the individual army books. |

Thank you very much now that you point it out I do not know how I missed it. My bad. |
