    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    …But that absolutely did happen? Izbushensky (this occasion actually has a picture of the cavalry mid-charge), Schoenfeld, Morong, etc. Khalkhin Gol alone started as a cavalry battle between Mongolian and Manchurian cavalry that gradually escalated into a larger engagement between their Soviet...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    No, warhorses are very much still in living memory. Horse cavalry was still used to great effect in WW2, mainly on the vast steppes of the Eastern Front and China, as a cavalry unit can move faster than a foot infantry unit the same size while taking up far less resources than an equivalent...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    I’ll drop this, but let me make one thing very clear: Do not ever accuse me of defending that fuck Stalin, or his cohorts. The Bolsheviks were pseudo-fascist class traitors that have left a stigma on the left they presumed to be a part of ever since they swept into power, and the whole world...

    Perhaps more relevant is that horse racing didn't stop under the Soviet Union. Not even when Stalin was in charge. There were only two interruptions, those being a few months in 1917 thanks to the revolution, and in 1941-42 due to the German invasion (notably, this means it had already started...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    This just seems unlikely to me. I could see it massacres of Umas being something that happened as a result of initial revolutionary fervor, but couldn’t see it extending beyond ‘just’ discrimination and persecution when it came to official doctrine. In the case of the Soviet bloc specifically...

    You're all missing the most obvious motivation there is: a rival who she has gay feelings about hates and desperately needs to beat into the dirt.

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Regarding stats, I’m gonna weigh in with my previous theory: she’s likely a Polish Arabian, both based on her noted altitude for incredible stamina over top speed and historical Polish warhorse breeding preferences since at least the late 1700s—right in time for the author’s previous mention...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    If we consider her as a dedicated Polish cavalry horse from around the time of the First World War/early 2nd Polish Republic, rather than a racehorse or workhorse pressed into service by wartime necessity (as indicated by her family having an Ułan uniform they obviously cherish), that would make...
