its WAD. But also realistic, the advantage of a horse is on average higher movement than someone marching but what do you do with the horse if you fully motorised the formation?

I think the whole temporary motorization option needs a review, see discussion here in HLYA's AAR: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=5011839

well sorry for not reading the Manuel before the asking the question. But There are certain benefits in first 20 turns or more. The Inf. brigades doesn't come in quantity before turn 12-15 and it is expansive to build. But there is need for expandable maneuvering units. to cover background of main line and also for exploding movements behind enemy lines. I was dreaming to motorize Cav divisions for extra movement potential and they still are more expandable then Mech. and Armored Div. as Arm brigades are also not availble.

no need to apologise just I often find it easier to answer questions but cut and paste from the manual - but then I often know where rules are lurking
