I agree. If your infantry line is already engaged then pretty much any weight of cavalry will do for smashing into their behinds in a hammer and anvil action.Originally Posted by Poor Bloody Infantry
If you're sending out a flanking force early to cause casualties before the lines meet, then medium cavalry like Mailed Knights are probably your best bet. They have more speed than barded horses but still have heavy lance charges.
I'm playing as Denmark at the moment and I'm really missing my beloved Mailed Knights. I'm finding Huscarls are next to useless and Feudal Knights have always been a little bit too slow to react. I do love the light cavalry Scouts though: light lances and shields plus axes make them a poor man's Stradiots.
