Cavalry Company

Composition

Manpower

150 man

Equipment

Lightly armoured horses, Gun lances or normal lances and sabres.

Weaponry

The cavalry use Lances to rip through enemy ranks and cause mayhem, Since the use of guns, the richer nations use gun lances to pick off targets from distance and while the enemy is rebuilding those ranks, the cavalry has time to charge.
if the lance breaks or the horse dies, they can switch to their sabres, although they are mostly just there for decoration.

Vehicles

Lightly armoured horses.

Structure

Every company has one captain that commands the company, he has no real autonomy and just tells the commands of the general of the army.

Tactics

The Cavalry has one formation: the spearhead.
the Cavalry charges a weak point in the enemy ranks in a triangle formation. It is rare to see cavalry charge head on however, these spearheads will try to flank or even get behind the enemy, unless you are Tuville.
The greater Empire of Tuville won battle after battle in the early years of the war by charging their cavalry into still forming ranks, causing massive routs early on in the battle. Later on they even didn't show up in battles. The cavalry would show up later and flank the enemy ranks.

Training

Cavalry gets a lot of attention, only landlords and others of similar status are trained into cavalry, they are battle deciders as their actions can completely turn the tide of the war. But thanks to their long training and pricey maintenance, they are very rare lately. The smaller nations often simply do not have the funds to maintain a cavalry company.
