Re: Dismounting
I forgot to add that in some OOBs those cavalry transports can be purchased as separate formations, for example in German OOB they are formations 324 (Kav Transport) and 325 (Kav Transp Zug), with transport capacity of 10 per unit.
You can then use those to transport around normal infantry units bought separately. This way you can provide cavalry units eg. with scouts that can dismount (mounted scouts being notoriously bad in staying hidden), though in most cases those scouts would be better served with a kubelwagen. That said, in certain forms of difficult terrain cavalry can have advantage over wheeled vehicles, since the horses cannot be immobilised by terrain (at least in this game). Also they do not leave burning wrecks on the map...
Just don't expect the cavalry transports to survive for long should they come under fire.
