    I recently had a battle as Milan with my general. I placed him on the right flank. Soon as the enemy advanced, they had 2 pavisse crossbow units and a DFK. The DFK marched right for my general and the 2 crossbows engaged my crossbow units. I took my general and charged the DFK, complete annihilation. The DFK went from 120 to 2 in one hit, then to 0 in a few more seconds. One of their crossbow units got destroyed by my crossbows and the remaining crossbow started a retreat through the woods. So, I marched my general along side them. They were still in the woods, when my general overtook their formation. I just double click right on their unit and my general wheeled around and started a charge right into their flank, destroying half of the crossbow unit with one hit, and victory.

    Oh here's a tip for charging at archers. When you're on approach, click on the line of infantry behind the archer instead of the archer line itself. Most likely the archers are on skirmish and will retreat before the hit causing your charge to break apart. If you charge the line behind them, I've had quite a few charges make good hit on both the archer unit and the unit of spears behind them.
