Australian Light Horsemen! AHL! The Great War.
"In war, it often is not what you were designed to do. It is not what in theory what you were primarily trained, manned, and equipped to do. No. More often than not it is what you must do. What you are needed to do. What you may be the only unit in place to do.
There is also, like we saw in the below - what must be done now with what is at hand. With the right leadership, a lot is possible. The dogmatic, rigid, and blinkered - things that are often rewarded in peace - are not what gets the job done in war. One hopes that in peace we accept the above truth and only have our minds dogmatic, rigid, and blinkered. Hopefully we have enough intellectual and material flexibility to be able to do what is needed and must be done. To improvise, adapt and overcome." - - Commander Salamander.

Comments:
* German officers in command of Turkish troops.
* Artillery not able to adjust fire quick enough.
* Turk riflemen engaging charging cavalry at extreme long-distance.
* Australian cavalry riding the Waler breed of horse. Best war horse in the world!
* No obstacles hindering the horsemen other than a double row of trench.
