Why do you favour your right side? I seem to get better impact on the left side since the shield is on the right side, from my point of view that is.

Agree. In the beginning cav was essential but RTR moved the back farther from the combat line until I only carried 2 units for chasing routers. With EB I use the almost like they should be used. However, I still argue that their speed is absurd. Who ever outran or kept pace with a mounted horse? Why can´t they run at a realistic speed? It´s a bit annoying IMO.
