Mounted infantry shooting

[Imp]

Strangely enough I have rarely used Cavalry till recently but have being playing a campaign where I have used them a lot.
Germans dismountable type & decided at the start I would buy an infantry company every battle with my support points.
As also decided I would be short on transport vehicles tried the Cavalry in the second battle & have used them 5 times now.
They can be very effective in European type terrain.
Can risk a quick run forward as scouts, pull them back though don't engage.
Move your force to intercept & cautiously try flanking with cavalry once engaged.
Main use is to close escape route & slaughter routed enemy infantry making for quick engagements.
Be wary of MGs & be ready to place smoke behind them if needed.
Had surprisingly few losses & very high kill ratios.
Slight cheat vs poles I sent one ATR rifle with them to be dropped in ambush position firing at range of 2-3, it had 18 kills in 3 battles!! Normally I am lucky if I kill anything with them.
They also proved very effective in a visibility 450m (9 hex) game sweeping in to add firepower to an area,
400m would have been easier as they don't have LMGs.
I have become quite fond of them.
Do not like using wagons though for transporting artillery they are so slow, that coupled with the short range of German mortars makes life very difficult when advancing.
