Cavalry Troop

Cavalry Troop
Includes one Webley Pistol team, eight SMLE Rifle teams, one Hotchkiss MG team, two Medium bases and eight large bases.

A Cavalry Squadron is lightly equipped with just its trench mortars and machine-guns that can be transported on horse-back, providing fire support. However, they would fight in close cooperation with the infantry and often be supported by the armoured cars or tanks of the Tank Corps.

Unlike the infantry who used the Lewis, the Cavalry had adopted the Hotchkiss light machinegun, a more compact design.

For heavier firepower, the cavalry had their own machine-gun section armed with a pair of Vickers heavy machine-guns. Along with the trench mortars, the Vickers are called up when the cavalry encounter anything that impedes their progress.
