Thanks Matteus, working on my horse heavy armies, I enjoy using HA in my armies, especially where better than vanilla HA units available, but my micro management skills still need work, I can manage 2-3 HA on one flank alright most of the time but when I try to put on both flanks, I tend to "forget" about one of flank as the action heats up only to find that forgotten group have been squeeze by some enemy units.

Concerning horse heavy armies, I am playing Byz using BKB mod in early at the moment and have access to Slav Horse, Steppe Lt Cav and Alans to chose from as light fast horse, would be interested to hear from Byz perspective what some of the Horse Heavy players prefer as far as their light cav line up looks like. I like the Alans but I think it is more psychological since they were not available except as mercs in standard MTV: VI it makes me want to use them when playing BKB.
