If you know your enemy will rush, bring just 1 pav arb, or one.

If you expect your enemy to rush, but you arent sure, bring 2 or 3.

If you havent got a clue, vring 3 or 4 upgraded pav arbs.

It depends on your pay style, I usually bring 3 or 4 pav arbs, because I dont like to be forced into a charge.

If you got 3 pav arbs and the enemy rushes,
put your pav arbs on hold&stand, and make sure your melee units engage just in front of your pav arbs. This way the enemy still gets shot&still get the morale penalty from the arrows, and they also get the morale penalty from the enemy unit proximity.

If a unit starts to waver, send in a pav to reinforce the melee.
This ownt break the enemy, but it'll certainly hold the line for another minute.

I ALWAYS make suremy pavs/archers have at least 1 valour, so they can reinforce the line and wont rout as fast when a cav unit charges at them....
