From the Rule Book (p.35):
"Cavalry units have their Speed doubled, and during the Assault phase
their speed us tripled if they charge into close combat."

Therefore, Cavalry act as vechicles in all other respects such as Supa
Lifta Dropa and taking cover except that they can "charge" into close
combat. So, Boarboyz can move 20 cm during the Movement and Assault
phases, except if they can come within base contact, then it's 30 cm
during the Assault phase.

Yes, from the Q&A and some other sources, you figure out how many blast
markers before any modification (ie assaulting or other blast markers).
So, for blast markers you place 1, but resolving the actual shooting
you have 0 FP and therefore 0 dice.
