Could one of you history buffs please explain to me how


It was always better if the infantry exchanged volleys whilst the cavalry fought hand to hand.
Calvary work in this quote or in this time period. I mean I'm envisioning knights from MTW2 and if they charge gun me, they'd just get shot down, alot. Yet it is my understanding in this time frame the calvary and horses don't wear armor. So if they charge a valley won't they just be cut down by musket fire?

Maybe i'm just not seeing how this works.
