If you're using skirmishers exclusively then take care of cavalry first. Turn off skirmishing and skirmish manually. I do get lazy though so I usually just sacrifice one unit to keep on running and eventually eat the cavalry charge while the bulk of the army harasses theirs. In my Romani campaign, my African detachments are made up of levy skirmishers and Numidian cav as I need my factional troops on Sweboz frontier *grumble*. I can suppress 3-settlement Qarthadhastim easy even if they're led by twenty-something bodyguard unit. It's great for open field battles not so much at city assault though.
