Re: Give us your input on the make up of the latest WWI cavalry sets!
Would very much prefer a conventionally balanced ratio of horses & riders.
5 nags for 5 grunts.
Still fail to understand the necessity of this rather peculiar asymmetrical set design.

... It's not exactly my idea of perfection, but what's that 'they' say, "Imperfect action today is better than perfect tomorrow", meaning I'd rather have these sets and build on them, than be waiting around indefinitely for my 'pefect' set.
As PDA already implied, before this becomes a most difficult matter of life and death, I could accept (albeit reluctantly) this irritating economy measures.
But to answer the original question.
HaT-Twitter
Do you like the make-up of 5 figures and 4 horses per sprue? ... Make your voice heard here!
No, I don't like it.
Please forgive me when I'm not able to see the logic behind the idea of having 15 riders vs only 12 horses per box.

Five riders and four horses is excellent for the reason stated. Also, with extra changeable arms the officer figure can become another private. We often have extra horses from other sets that we can use for the fifth rider. For instance, I have mounted extra riders on horses from Eagle Games.

Just to pull a point over here from the general poll thread - most if not all countries only issued lances to 50% of the rank-and-file troopers in their cavalry regiments to equip the front rank but as WW1 went on the weapon became increasingly irrelevant. Please consider reducing the number of lances or increasing the number of optional arms holding swords and carbines. Thanks.

If you want an alternative head suggestion for the Russian cavalry then how about some budenovka hats? Would make up for not including these options with the Russian artillery crew, as many suggested, and can still be used with them instead of the stiff-crown parade caps.
