1. Lovas is an Axis Mechanized division in Steel Division II. The 1st Cavalry Division was an elite unit of the Hungarian Army, originally planned for homeland defense, but after Third Reich pressure positioned in Ukraine were the Wehrmacht expected the main Soviet offensive to occur.
Although the Germans had promised that the lightly equipped division wouldn’t be pitted against tanks, during operation Bagration it was hurried to the south of Minsk in a desperate attempt to slow down the Soviet onslaught.
The 1st Cavalry Division fields quite a few light and medium tanks, mostly Hungarian-made 38M Toldi and the 40M Turán. To face the tanks of the Red Army, the hussars can bring other assets to bear, especially their dual-purpose anti-aircraft guns.
The 1st Cavalry Division is a versatile division and can count on strong infantry, air support and other flexible units, especially anti-aircraft ones.
