Hi fellas, when attacking with cavalry we are led to believe that cavalry are devestating against warriors. The only way we find is that any casualties when taken from the back there is no real advantage. Should cavalry attack casualties be taken from the front ranks? Then you would gain a big advantage. Any ideas fellas!

I presume you mean in WotR because models are individuals n SBG.

All casualties are taken from a company in the rear rank regardless of whether the attacker is infantry, cavalry or monster. Cavalry do have an advantage in that a) cavalry gain extra D6 per company, b) cavalry strike before infantry and c) some cavalry have lances. They do not need any extra advantages.

Also note that cavalry's higher move value enables you to skip on to their flanks from behind your own infantry, and launch a flank attack (-3 dice per company is fun).
