Great work – although I don't give them much of a chance against that MG42 in the Sdkz 251

Always a fun bunch to add to a game. Years ago in an Eastern Front Game using WRG rules we had a group of Russian Cavalry take out a German Motorcycle Recon unit. The Motorcycle/sidecars pulled up to the edge of a woods and the Cavalry came pouring out the next turn overwhelming the motorcycles which had their sidecar mounted MGs facing the wrong direction. It was over before it started.

Great thing about cavalry, even to this day, is their ability to go almost anywhere. An awful lot of forest in the USSR for example. An Sdkz might be fine on the steppes, but, in the Pripet marshes………

The most important value of cavalry in "horse country" is the easy availablety of a lot horses and horsemen. The technologie for drawn horse transport is than usable at any level. The german army keep cavalry and horse transport in use at the start of WW2, because eastern prussia was a "horse country" with many horses and horsemen. Before WW1 the drafted german horsemen had to serve 6 month longer, because the special horse training. My fathers grandfather died that (11th. Husars). But if a war started, the army got a very headstrong fast attack option.
