ORIGINAL: Mardonius From Murat: The Italians would beg to differ : The last Cavalry charge in history took place on 23 August 1942, at Izbushensky on the River Don. The Italian Savoia Cavalry Regiment, and consisting of 600 mounted Italian troops, charged against 2,000 Soviet troops. The Italian Lancers destroyed a pair of Soviet Infantry armored vehicles before being forced to withdraw with thirty-two casualties. I was going to add the same blurb... Obvioulsy, I need to get out more... ahahaha.....I was ready to reply too! One the few good episodes in the Italian military history. The rest is more or less in the "dropped once, never used" category [;)]
