Default Cardboard Heroes Bundle

When can we expect to receive the Cardboard Heroes Bundle? Will it be available in our Warehouse23 account? Since they're PDFs and not physical media, I was hoping to get it soon -- if not immediately.

I also paid via card so as to receive a refund for the 5 USD "shipping and handling" charges imposed.

None of the PDF rewards selected in Backerkit will be delivered until November, after we officially lock and close the project.

Does anyone know if any of the CH sets contain mounted (cavalry) figures?

I would like to use CH for an upcoming wargaming event, but, without cavalry, such a plan would be problematic.

I don't remember there being any.

There are flat horse counters which work with them in something from GURPS (the blank map pack?), but GURPS horses are 3-hex figures while TFT horses are 2-hex figures.

I think flat counters work well for mounts since you can very easily put a standing figure on a flat horse counter to indicate it is mounted.

So if there are no official Cardboard Hero horses (?), I would just make my own slew of 2-hex top-down horse counters, e.g. basing off of something like: https://www.google.com/search?q=top-...w=1920&bih=925

Skarg's suggestion is great and simple. I may do that or use a chess-knight (horse-head) in the horse's head-hex. I won't bother making my rider shift between the horse's two hexes. Whichever side he faces, he can attack into those 3 hexes. The only hexes adjacent to the horse that the rider cannot attack into (with non-missile weapons) are the one hex directly in front of or behind the horse.
