    Default Re: How to beat horse archers in real life?

    I was looking around for examples of the Romans fighting a predominately "horse-archer" based army, and I stumbled upon this wonderful source. It's a preview of a book relating directly to this subject. I highly recommend reading it if you're interested in this thread. It talks about battles involving horse archers from the battle of Carrhae onward and discusses how the Byzantines were able to adapt they're army to be so successful against them among other things.
