How to get Mounted Thunder Braves?

It's my first game in the America's campaign, and i've beaten the French enough to gain access to guns and horses. Despite the fact that I've got plenty of Gun Traders Wigwams and Horse Traders Tipis, I can't seem to build Mounted Thunder Braves, only Mounted Apaches, which have bows and arrows. Do you have to unlock them somehow, by defeating more horse troops or training a certain number of Mounted Apaches?

If I remember, Mounted Thunder Braves are recruited at the Horse Trader's Wigwam. A few more suicide charges at Mounted Cuirassers should give you the opportunity to build them.

Yes, you need the horse trainer wigwam, which requires, I believe, something like 20 wins against armies that have horses, and 20 wins against armies with guns.

Just keep killing palefaces until they show up. I used them, so they do exist.

Ah, I got them. It only took one more battle. Thanks!

How often exactly? I really have a problem understanding the campaign script at this point as the comments seem to talk a completely different language than the code.

What the code says is you need to win 2/3/4 battles against cav and the horse counter will increase to level 1/2/3 respectively. The same for gunpowder only without the last level.

So is it correct that you only need to win three battles against a larger army (i.e. with gunpowder and cavalry) to get all the goodies?
