I once played an entire campaign with a rule I could only use light cavalry (I thought this would make it more challenging). What did I find out? That mounted sergeants are the most underrated unit in the game. One they have the same charge stats as knights, two in the latter phases when dealing with many anti-armor bonus units they don't have this problem, three they are so cheap you can lose 5 units before it even comes close to the cost of one unit of knights, four in the desert they last a hell of a lot longer. Which brings me to my next point, am I just crazy (no pun intended) or does anyone else think hobliers are magnificent. Most players use charges from a flanking position and the enemy usually will rout immediately with a good line, missiles, and then a flank attack. So, the attack and defense stats that make Knights so impressive in a campaign game I think are mute points. Any comments?
