Good thread you fucking autist

I have thought about the land around where I live which is mostly rolling hills and grass with the occasional forest both real and pine trees for timber. I think that it is the perfect terrain for a modern calvery (more of a dragoon really). Because you are never more than 1 km from high ground so your forces goal should be to move across the valley floor as fast as possible and then establish a position on the high ground.
I know what your saying ifv and I agree that will be the centerpiece of the mounted squad but our rural roads are piss poor and almost always at the bottom of a hill meaning that they will be ambush prone if the infantry aren't screening ahead which will reduce movement to a march unless your screening infantry are not infantry but Calvary. The horses will also allow more ammo and heavy weapons to be carried making the quickly established positions o. The high ground more formidable.
The fact that every thing is grassy pastorial land also helps to reduce the burden of feeding the horses. it should also be possible to make amour for a house that can easily stand up to 7.62 or equivalents and riders since the horse takes most of the weight

Hello, young-user. How are your early twenties going?
Blame Versailles. After WWI a lot of wooded areas had been cut to produce wood for mining, coaling and heating, as well as construction work (and obviously to be turned into stocks for everybody's bolt action raifu), coupled with the reparations Germany payed in part in wood there was a massive demand for a quick growing, sturdy, and mostly straight wood material, that could also be turned into coal easily.
Turns out that spruce is perfect for this, and that you can quickly grow large amounts of it.
So it was decided to plant spruce literally everywhere you needed to produce wood.
This also brought about a special kind of hunting, where you set up clear long paths in a forest by cutting down a single line of trees. Then the animals are scared from one side to the other, effectively forcing them through a nice long kill zone.
Stay home, pseudo Kraut.
Cavalryfags need not apply.

Mules are nice though.
Corb Lund is dope as well.

That reminds me, horses apparently eats small chicks too. Well, eat might be too strong a word since they don't actually swallow it they spat it out instead
Why tho.
I could only ask about it because i have zero knowledge when it comes to these battlefields and i am but a mere layman when it's about tactical planning

This is why Panama boot soles are the best, because they clear mud and dirt

Wouldn't it be cool though
Your missing the point though less calvery more mounted rifles who can each carry a grenade launcher rifle and anti tank weapon with ammo and be effectively armoured well still being highly mobile. Scouting for and screening there ifv which will be tasked with doing most of the damage. They will dismount to fight. Because of the terrain vehicles can't move freely as there could always be an ambush around the next bend and you can never know if the enemy is above you. All still land that has been cleared for farming just live stock on pastures not crops. The terrain is also why Calvary have a chance you can keep your horses safe at the bottom of a hill well you fight from a quickly established position that is brisling with heavy weapons and the support of a ifv. To quickly overwhelm the enemy and run. I was thinking 1 ifv with its crew and the squad leader with coms to hq and 10 mounted men with 20 horses

You know it goes down to T4, right?
Useable for every position
Useable for every position with specific exceptions
Useable if specific health problems are resolved
Not useable.
All it means is that you can't be used on every position.
>t. T2, can't be AA missile operator because of eyesight.
Cavalry is dead, just as Dragoons are, which is exactly what you are describing minus the IFV.
Holy shit nigger, learn how to spell.
If your horse gets even a single stray shrapnel to the legs it's going to be out of action, and packing replacement limbs is not nearly as easy as you may think. This isn't 40k enough.
You would need to either cool the organs, or keep them on a host body, which would be an unholy abomination. Then some surgeon would have to implant the limb on the injured animal and you have to pray it works, because if it doesn't and the horse won't recovers within a day you wasted billions of Dollar'e'doos on the Lockmart Medical division.
Just use motorized infantry. If your tire gets shot you can put on a new one and repair the old one in the mean time (or get a replacement).
