Epic Cavalry Charges

I charge 5 cavalry units into the flank of a ptolomaian army, killing the army off in a mass rout.

4 units of roman cavalry (2 extraords, 2 equites) routed a gallic line near bononia.

A Seleucid general with some Companions and cataphracts (also some footmen) in the stack, while travelling in the NE corner of the map after a nice pic nic, was suddenly ambushed by the emerging Yuezhi.
However the veteran armoured soldiers of the general were able to butch up a lot of enemies in melee.

In one of my Pahlava campaigns I had a fullstack of 3 FM's 5-6 armoured HAs (Zradha Shivatir and Daha Uezdattae), 2-3 Azad Asavarans supported by a mötley assortement of different foot archers clash with a Saka fullstack of the same nature. After charging the enemy cataphracts I butchered their foot archers and chased down their HA's with my armoured ones. It took some time but I killed them off eventually.

when Sardinia revolted back to Carthage the "new army"(almost only slaves and 2x sardinians) moved out of the safe city walls and(because of lack of archers in Italy) trained a halfstack of Cav^^(and 2x samnites who i had standing arround) and charged them down XD not realy heroic but nevertheless funny^^ and a pleasant source of XP.

I was Romanii and wanted to replicate the Mongol invasions, so I sent my generals all across Eastern Europe and Asia Minor hiring mercs. I ended up buying 1.5 full stacks of horse archers (with .5 stack of generals) and 1 full stack of heavy cavalry lancers. I basically shredded every army that I came across with this force.

Horse archers to soften up the enemy, and charge them when they become weak, or just use heavy lancers to charge the enemy repeatedly.

Battle Statistics...this might as well be the Mongol victory at the Battle of Legnica :D
