[Cecil XIX]

I had a nasty moment in the second tutorial battle when the enemy army charged my position before I was in formation, perhaps because I had let my cavalry get too far forward chasing some routers (The Tutorial placed a few units way ahead of the main army for educational purposes). I was actually pretty worried for a moment, but I think I had more soldiers (tutorial battles exist independently of what you have in the campaign, so it's harder to tell) and I was able to get my soldiers around there's and flank them. Good thing too, if I hadn't gotten my Daimyo there in time, their cavalry might have routed mine and turned my left flank. Pretty encouraging!

EDIT: Also, apparently all cavalry function like Dragoons have previously and can mount/dismount at any time. Nice to know that feature is here to stay, you'd think they would have added that in Rome since they were half-way there in Medieval I!
