Gameplay[]
Iran doesn't just receive one but THREE cavalry units, the Imperial Gendarmerie, Camel Rifles and Cossack Lancers. The different cost structure of the Cossack Lancers, the defensive power of the Camel Rifles and the availability of the Imperial Gendarmerie mean that Iran has cavalry superiority - Camel Rifles may not be able to move as quickly as the Imperial Gendarmerie do, but they are ideal especially in situations where you are assaulting enemy units head-on, or are mounting counter-cavalry operations, while the Cossack Lancers and Imperial Gendarmerie function like normal mounted infantry would otherwise do.
That said, Iran has problems if it cannot use its cavalry effectively. Iran doesn't have a lot in the way of armour, and has only the Strv m/41 as its highest level of independent land-based armour. More weapons and infantry can be imported, but Iran is committed to either Axis or Allied military imports.
