You mean you use two units of cavalry? To take out one skirmisher? That's a luxury it is hard to afford for those of us playing historical Roman armies! But that's for the tip - it sounds sensible. And historically cavalry does often seem to have been deployed en masse, rather than frittered away in penny packets.
