    Default HA vs HA - tactical help required

    hey everyone,

    so i'm toddling along in my sauromatae campaign, all going smoothly, except now saka have decided to wander into my neck of the woods, with 10 units, 5 of which are their killer elite HAs. I'm using mostly Scythian riders (aorsi riders in fact) and the bog standard horse archers, and finding the saka a tough cookie to crumble. please can anyone share tips for HA vs HA battles. obviously against infantry it's a completely different approach (circle, fire on flanks and rear)...but against HAs...well.......help please!

    EDIT: i should add, i find that the losses i sustain are so often man for man against the Saka that it's simply becoming a battle of numbers - more men=men left after all the arrows have been exchanged and equal numbers killed.....is there anyway that you don't just lose man for man?

    inde consilivm mihi pavca de Avgvsto et extrema tradere, mox Tiberii principatum et cetera, sine ira et stvdio, qvorvm cavsas procvl habeo.
