The guide to the DBA 2.2 (accurately IMHO) describes light horse as "float like a butterfly, sting like a butterfly".
With combat factors of only 2 v. foot and 2 v. mounted, light horse can't do a lot of damage. All they can do is dance. They lack punch.
And that would come as a surprise to the earth conquering light horse of the Mongols, the civilization destroying light horse of Tamerlane, or the legion killing light horse of the Parthians.
So how about increasing their combat factor to the same levels as cavalry, 3 v. foot and 3 v. mounted?
All other factors (movement rates, combat results, etc.) stay the same.
In effect, using DBM terminology, Light Horse would become "Fast" Cavalry.
And Genghis Khan can finally conquer the earth in DBM.
Thoughts or comments?
P.S. Maybe treat Psiloi as "fast Auxilia" for the same reasons?
