In the old Fanatics there is discussion about LH support of LCh and vice versa. I am putting my reply here
As noted, the rear support relationship is by "Type" and not class. So all Wb support each other and all Pike support each other, unless noted in the army list.
In the troop description we have this
"LIGHT HORSE, including all light horsemen (LH) or camel riders (LCm) who skirmished in dispersed swarms with javelin, bow or crossbow and would not charge unshaken enemy; such as Numidians, Huns, Parthian horse archers, Late Roman “Illyrians” or Equites Sagittarii, genitors or border staves."
Thus the use of the term Light Horse in the rules includes both the horse variety and the camel variety. Otherwise there is no movement allowed for LCm nor combat factor as Light Camels are not listed. Nor do LCm have any outcomes listed. All references to Light Horse or LH include Light Camels.
