A tankette representing the motorised elements of the cavalry regiments. Note the Transilvanian colours to aid aerial identification.

A Skoda 75mm Mountain Howitzer to support the infantry.

They were recruited in times of war by the Transilvanian army. They will be deployed in my games with a defensive ( last line of defence ?) role , probably to hold a wood village or bridge . They can retreat but not advance. We will see how it goes…
