ready to go until Mike Rayhawk finalises the mounted/autonomous animal rules
for BW2K.

Oh give me a break, you probably have a better handle on the rules than I do
at this point, I'm sure you could make up something workable.  I haven't
developed the Animals rules any further since we were discussing them in e-
mail a little over a month ago (shows how bogged down I am, I haven't even
started the Animal Ker-Pow! Table, which is going to be one of the highlights
of the book).  I think the final form of the animals rules will be pretty
close to what we discussed though.  Here, I'll quote from the mail:

There's
going to be a 1 CP 'Horsemanship' specialty equivalent to the 'Piloting'
specialty, which also gives a bonus on the Animal Ker-Pow! Table.  But it
is typical not to be able to steer an animal and attack on the same turn,
since both require a lot of attention.  Generally once the horse is
moving in the general direction of the target, you leave it on autopilot
(continuing in the same direction at the same speed) and you attack the
target in passing (or 'en passant' if you want to be all French about
it).

I'm going to make a (probably) 3 CP Specialty for
animal units so they can behave independently.  That way there would be a
difference between a riding mount and a trained warhorse.
