I have always been uneasy about charging my spearmen into charging cavalry. I receive the huge charge bonus by performing this tactic and I am unaware of any penalties. But in reality, I just can't see spearmen charging into charging cavalry.

I see spearman as hunkering down and locking arms and trying to look mean and ugly as the cavalry approaches rather than letting out a warcry and rushing forward.
