Do these get the +1 in impact versus Cavalry or is that reserved for actual Camelry?
I guess a similar question applies to infantry mounted on camels with the dismountable characteristic, though they would be combat shy for being caught while still mounted. I have a vague recollection that this has been answered as not being applicable as they would actually be fighting as infantry having performed an emergency dismount (thus the combat shy) but cannot find it on the forum (perhaps so old that it was on the previous forum?)

Yep found the camel mounted infantry answer in the V13 Clarifications from 2022

Do you not feel the +4 for barricades enough?

going to go with no as its the infantry fighting and not the barricade camels. so its not 'camels V cavalry...'

Kind regards

Well +4 is OK but as it is the horses not liking the smell etc and they are having to lean over them to get at the infantry I thought they might get a waft of more than the average infantry-mans' BO ::)
