Cavalry
Armoured cavalry, but the horses have no barding. Often armed only with mace or sword, some with lance. Some might have javelins, but they will not be effective enough (in game terms) to gain an ranged attack. (DBM Kn(I), WHA Sv 3+ or 4+)

Skirmishing Cavalry
Cavalry fighting in open formations. Light or no armour and probably equipped with shields. Mainly armed with short ranged weapons like javelins they try to avoid close combat. Their increased mobility gives them a 15 cm shooting attack even while most other javelin equipped infantry does not get a shooting attack. For balance reasons their attack value is 2 even if some could have an attack value of 3 justified by equipment and training. (DBM LH(F) / LH(I), WHA Sv 5+ or 6+, Skirmishers, short bow, javelin)
