Pages 28 and 29 of the manual indicate that cavalry must stack with infantry before it can enter an enemy hex (without first being activated). It also states that cavalry cannot enter enemy hexes that are rough, mountain, forest, or marsh. Yet, I have been able to move cavarly into all of these hexes, and even without starting stacked with infantry.

Cavalry now enters and occupies an enemy controlled mountain hex.

totally surrounded non-city hexes seem to be an undocumented exception - I've been able to move unactivated infantry into such hexes.

It just seemed to be unnecessary to have to use an HQ activation to enter isolated enemy hexes to switch control so that supply could be traced through.

Agree, Frank. This is a good playability idea.
