New unit idea

So you are going to suicide all the horses every first time it is being used in war?

Little known fact: the Soviets used many cavalry units right until the end of the war. These troops really fought like dragoons, riding to the battlefield but dismounting before actually doing battle; something like motorized infantry without motors. In rough terrain (like much of the little-roaded USSR was at the time), the horses performed better than oil-based transport.

I still don't get how they can do that without exposing themselves to the gun fire and every time you use them, the horse dies?

The same way as infantry in trucks; motorized infantry also dismounts before he actual fighting starts. You use the horse for transport TO the battlefield, dismount there, and fight as infantry. The advantage is the mobility/flexibility of deployment.

oh nice good idea

Noice unit huh?
