What's with the archers?

[Mr Frost]

Just incase the origonal poster is still checking on this thread .

*Cavalry advice that you should remember : mass your melee cavalry into one big sledgehammer block and use them as one unit .
If you have a lot of melee cavalry {say 10 full units}, then you can get away with two such blocks , but each will be less powerful than one big one .
As that loonie on Decisive Battles {Nutbreaker or whatever his name was :p } pointed out , Guderan was right when he advocated armoured units {the modern version of cavalry} in concentrated masses directed at choice portions of the enemies' line ... "not with a drizzle , but with a downpour !"

Using your melee cavalry in one big concentrated mass gives you a sledgehammer of fast moving combat power that can smash {near instant routs if you charge , then double cilck on the ground some distance on the opposite side of the enemy unit from where you hit to drag the cavalry right through them . You will end up both breaking their unit into little peices and completely eveloping them both ; only Beserkers in a beserk state and very experienced Spartans can resist routing the instant that state is reached - note , when they are thus enveloped click on them to reissue the attack , unless you need to keep moving} most flank protecting units and thus clear its' own path to hit an enemies' line in flank or rear {where it can destroy that section of the enemy line far more surely !} .

Mass that cavalry !

Not with a drizzle , but with a downpour !





Edit : I had to put in the horsies , it wouldn't be complete without the horsies
