PEONY WARS (4) - RED CAVALRY

 Being an occasional series on converting the classic convention game, "Pony Wars", to a VBCW variant...

While the Presteigne Motor Works churns out more and more noisy smelly diesel engined thingies, Presteigne's need for more and more Communist cavalry has not been forgotten:

1st and 2nd Cavalry Sections, as featured in THIS POST

Vigorous recruitment efforts have now resulted in a doubling of Red Cavalry strength:

New additions - 3rd and 4th Cavalry Sections


All the cavalry together - 4 sections - now enough for a Red Cavalry Platoon
(without heavy weapons yet) according to the WTDW Rules. 

Nevertheless, as "Peony Wars" requires a minimum of 300 Red Cavalry (as explained in THIS POST), there is still an awful long way to go before Hereford1938 can even think of staging a VBCW variant of the classic Convention Game:

A familiar refrain from Comrade Colonel Knokisblokov and staff

The rumour is that even greater recruitment efforts may shortly lead to results:


Red Cavalry barracks - with existing and "in preparation" cavalry.
A file box can take seven sections of Cavalry - this box therefore
represents just under 25% of the force required for a game of 
"Peony Wars"
