Finish reading, no non infantry, vampire or etheral may regain more then a single wound per casting.

hm the german rulebook only says, that you cant heal more than one wound by
troops who are vampires, it doesnt say anything about cavalery models.

This wouldn't be the first glaring error noted in the translated versions...

Linda is right though - it specifies 'non-infantry' rather than 'cavalry' (in the English version). Cavalry aren't infantry, QED ;) .

On that note, something came up the other day that at first we were uncertain of, but then decided on it and played. Regardless, for opinions - what all do you consider infantry? Are Skaven weapon teams (25x50mm bases, 2 models on one) infantry? We decided that since they were on foot they were. The only implication was for entering buildings. Even so, only 2 jezzails can shoot per floor at least with US2 each, but that was my first encounter with them and I am very scared now.

Woot! If it's only ever said once, I couldn't ask for a better person to say it.

I'd say they aren't. The rules say they are cavalry except where stated - and their rules only go on to change their LoS/charge reaction rules to that of skirmishers.

So by the rules...I'd say they couldn't go in. Imagine it's a bit difficult getting it through the door or something :P.
