I totally agree that "fast cavalry" are extremely valuable for catching generals etc. But are all light cavalry in M2TW "fast" cavalry? In MTW, units like hobilars had no speed advantage over heavies[1]. You needed the good stuff like jinettes, Alans or Saharan cav. And I don't recall reading anything about hobilars being fast on the unit cards in M2TW. But you are the second poster who seems to assume light cavalry are faster, so maybe I've missed something.





[1]Historically, I suspect knights might be faster than hobilars, who presumably had poor mounts.
