Newbie question on AK47 republic

[neonthefox12]

Hello all.
I wanted to ask some question about AK47 Republic.
For the game, what are some expectations. Like how many models should I have on hand, or how much dice I need.
I also wanted to ask how a standard game goes. Most of my experience with tabletop games are Warhammer 40k. About how different is AK47 republic.
Lastly, are there any Cavalry units? I have this thing of wanting cavalry in my armies, despite how impracticle they may be (though given the setting, cavalry might be quite practicle if my reading of Combat and Survival books is correct)

Hello,

And yes, you can field cavalry.

Like these ones :

are those guys in the original rules, or only in the reloaded rules?

Both. The AK47 rules old or new. The good thing about these rules is you can put anything on the table, as long as it fits into a category. Example my "Helicopter Gunship" is a C130 spirit ! Its a big model it looks impressive but its on a helicopter gunship !
The game and rules are quite flexible but the bases can only be what is on the list, you can have "spacemen with a tripod mounted laser" for example but it will only count as an Hmg ? A/T gun or even mortar ? Its what you pay for it !
I think cavalry come under horses and motorbikes?
