Air units; Reaper : The reapers are the bat-pony air units of the army, they wear light armor and attack from the sky with their bladed gauntlets. Less defense and speed than Pegasi but their hearing is Excellent and they can see in utter darkness. their strength is their evasive abilities and attacking force.
Artillery units; Cannons : Cannons do less spread damage than a catapult but are more precise. they take longer to load but can reach many miles. their strength is precision and range. they must beware of cavalry and air units.
Cavalry units; Lancer : Lancers are the backbone of the L.R.A they are light-armored units trained for close-combat. they are skilled,flexible and fast. when the enemy gets too close to the army’s line infantry they help out. they excel at attack force and are good against infantry and attacks from above but have low armor and therefore require back-up from ranged or air units. their weaknesses are ranged attacks and artillery. Their armors later on evolved into the armor the Night guard wears in present times.
Marching band : they accompany the army to battle and boost troop morale, they play drums,bagpipes and flutes.
Assuming Equestria is at least quasi-steampunk, the cannon could fit in the canon.
wow, really?? so it seems i learned something today ^^
The cannon looks like circa early 1900’s/WW1 as does the rifle.
Fun fact, at the beginning of WW1 pretty much every nations cavalry’s primary weapon was still the lance.
