What happened to the Imperial cav. I would be nice to be able to carve up routed infantry with cavarly with a morale of 8.5 plus. Less likely to become disorder when charging, just think of those glory points u could collect.

Hi, I have Cav Corps with just cavarly and the leader has a cav bonus. After they train up and win a few battles they get pretty good at chasing running dogs. (caught over 19k in recent battle)

What you really want to play with is a Lancer unit. Requires courts as well as barracks to build. Combines the strengths of light cav with the strengths of heavy cav, all in very high morale unit - which seems to help with formation change and reforming after a charge. In my last detailed battle, my lancer was reforming almost immediately, and able to charge again the very next turn! (Well, managed it 3 times in very fast succession).

Steve, I haven't been able to build a lancer yet. Historically It would nice to have guads cav units though.

We're considering a few more units for the features patch, and guard cavalry is among them. The big limitation on new units (other than the graphics...) is the limited space on the purchase units list.

British rocket arty would look good in tact battles, but I guess they pretty worthless in real terms.

Hi Eric, as i mentioned in the first post, high morale guard's units would play havoc when the bad guys start fleeing at the end of a battle. The dudes with 7.9 morale seem to do well as it is, but using Napoleons tactics of using his guards to pursue the fleeing enemy army would just add some historic apeal to the tact battles

Since Austria starts without any light cavalry in 1792, I may assume their Hungarian hussars will be a special unit in the features patch? [:D]
(According to the literature those were supposed to be the best light cavalry in Europe. Problem were the Austrian generals, who weren't able to use them properly)
