Bicyclists

[Michael Murphy]

IIRC, most riders (Bikes, MC, Cav) have comparable foot troop equivalents available in the countermix. With this in mind, I've instituted a house rule for all scenarios in which any riders appear. Bikes and MC can dismount at the cost of 1 MP; and Cavalry can dismount at the cost of 2 MP. This is a one and done deal. Once dismounted, no units may remount. They're stuck with being in foot mode for the rest of the scenario. The only catch is that the riding unit must be replaced by an equivalent foot unit with identical FP factors. No substitutions (up or down in strength) are allowed.

This is based on my personal amalgamation of the various dismounting rules from the different modules. I feel that this HR gives me the best feel for dismounting units in a tactical combat setting. Of course, YMMV and that's fine with me.
