Horse holders

Post by markantony »

Do horseholder bases move in sync with their associated dismounted cavalry bases? Or do they remain static until the dismounted cavalry units return to them (and then remount and move off)?

I’m thinking of situation where dismounted cavalry are operating in skirmish mode and may advance to press an attack. Or indeed the situation where dismounted cavalry are forced to retreat (whipped) or evade a charge.

Hi markantony.
Page 20 under Dismounted Cavalry.

"Horse holders may either advance with their regiment, to the rear of the firing line, or may be left at a desired position."

Given that "a dismounted cavalry unit must be within 5cm [3"] of its horse-holders before it can remount."
If your dismounted cavalry are advancing it would make sense to have your horse holders advance with them.

Regards
Tony
