Also I think I mentioned that the cavalry could be on both flanks. Protecting one side and being a menace to the other.
Yes, it will be an echelon, but without a proper slope.. But yes, they could be streched a bit further. And I will probably assign a bit cav on the other flank also, with a small infantry reserve.

Basicly, implementing the formations. And I didn't mention about strange formations, just that doing forms for EB is different from doing them for vanilla. And nope, I won't be using this for testing, you'll get the forms with EB (Just being the regular EB bastard here )

But if I do some forms purely for vanilla, they'll be posted here.
