Exactly, except that I frequently put 2 or 3 cav behind the missiles, use them to protect my archers/pavs and harass the enemy missiles. As the infantry lines engage, I pull the cav back and out to a flank. I also try to pull my missiles back before melee begins, and usually shift them to the flank opposite the cav.
