great post, but I have a couple of unanswered questions:

1 - what is the most optimal formation to charge in? is for instance wedge even worth it? I seem to always lose a lot of knights when charging in a wedge, but then again, I didn't know how to charge well before reading this post
2 - how many lines per formation is it most beneficial to have? I usually put my heavy cavalry in two line formation, but is is best to have them in 4-5 lines forming a square instead?

oh also, does charging from a slight angle improve or deteriorate the result? what I mean is as opposed to charging straight into the spear wall (head on), what if I charge them from a 20-30 degree angle? sort of hitting the corner of their formation and not really their pointing spears? is it considered as flanking or does this end up causing more casualties because your knights have to move through a wider area?

ok hope somebody knows the answeres to these questions


thanks
