The Tip of Alexander

[Divinus Arma]

3) As you can see, your main force is pretty outnumbered. No big deal. Shift to one flank on your approach and go into echelon as your horse circle wide:



Note: Do not angle your echelon this much. It should be just a light slant.

4) They enemy will approach your main contingent and begin to angle and meet your echelon. They may very well begin to engage. Just as they do so, stirke at an angle from outside with your cavalry. picture a clock on the wall. Your left horse should come from10 O'Clock and aim for 5 O'clock. Your right horse should come from 2 O'clock and aim for 8 O'clock (sorry I am unable to depcit the proper facing movement) The enemy's rear is always 12 O'clock:





5)Now Strike!






Well. That is a giant cluster, but I hope you get the idea and that you can tell what is what.


This came out all jacked up, but you get the point I hope.

thnx, i'm learning something.so if you're surrounded you just take one flank in echelon to counter, interresting. but the primary use is to form the field to you're own mind.
