Ah, is that how you want to play it? Posting Steam Chats on a public forum?
Are you sure you don't want to mention how I'd show you actual Australian Light Horse manuels? Or how I cited information from Australian historians that are Light Horse enthusiasts? Or how you replied to me every time with something completely irrelevant, and did not disprove my argument at all? How you'd simply dodge my argument, make another BS one, goad me into replying, and then repeat? How you became increasingly rude during our discussion? Yeah, I'd address that if I were you.
I'll tell everybody what I told you. Australian Light Horsemen used their horses to travel between battlefields, rarely on them. The horses were hardly anywhere near the fighting.
"Each regiment lived and fought as a series of four-man "sections". When they went into action, three men would dismount to fight as infantry while the fourth man led the four horses to cover until they were needed for a further advance or withdrawal."

"They fought dismounted while horse-handlers took the horses to safety, then the horse-handlers returned with the horses for the troops to remount, and just as quickly retreat or retire from the battlefield."

If we were to have Australian Light Horsemen, they should be portrayed how they really fought, dismounted. They shouldn't be portrayed like some extreme special case like at the Battle of Beersheba.
Giving the Light Horse horse on the small battlefields of Warband wouldn't just be historically in accurate, it wouldn't be good from a gameplay point of view. How well would they function on battlefields with craters and barbed wire everywhere? And with machine gun and accurate rifles in the equation? Seriously, there's no point. There's a reason the Light Horsemen didn't use horses often in the actual fighting. Then there is also the matter of balance, Germany didn't have any cavalry at all, they were disbanded early on in the war. Austria had to disband all their cavalry as well due to poor saddles. The French even disabled a sixth of their horses by late August 1914 through awful horsemanship. That would make UK the only faction with horses.
Not historically accurate or good for gameplay, do I need to say more?

I have a suggestion for mortars. You can reskin a howitzer and it should work basically the same, it would just require removing the ramming animation.
Yeah, would it be possible to simply skip the ramming part when using mortars? Would add a lot more artillery fire to the battle.
Oh, and are you going to add new particle effects for the mortars/grenades? I remember one of the WW1 mods having great particle effects for the grenades.

I think that reserving battalions would be a better idea.
