On the description of several cavalry types it lists “D3” (or “Dx”). What does that mean? Where is it used? Thanks!

Hvy Cav +1, means that when they charge or countercharge they add 1 to the combat resolution, i.e. equivalent to an extra casualty inflicted. Hvy cav +D3 is similar except the addition to the combat resolution is based on the score of a D6 halved, i.e. an addition of 1, 2 or 3.
