France 14 Rules question

[Volcano Man]

In regards to #1, there is something in the 160 pages of notes that covers all of that, so it is better to wait until you get it and look for the section "Machine Gun and Field Gun Unit setup" on page 62. It has about two pages of notes on this, and I can assure you that countless hours of thought went into the decision and I feel that it is best approach (the rules in regards to these units actually went through several changes until it was felt that it had reached a perfect fit).

In regards to #2, sure, you might hear people cry about it, but again, tons of thought and testing went into the cavalry and I feel that it is "about as good as it can be" as they certainly are not all powerful. Intelligent use of cavalry should also not be punished IMO. I tend to see people evolving into successful cavalry commanders, successful infantry commanders and successful artillery commanders, and the best players becoming good at bringing it all together.

But again, there are about seven pages in the notes devoted to cavalry so, again, you can find everything you want to know (and probably everything you don't want to know) in the notes. :)
