English vs. Cavalry (bug?)

[AussieGiant]

I don't know about a bug, but I sure got some ridiculous results in a battle yesterday. I caught Bordeaux with only a General's Bodyguard unit of 53 defending (It was the King's retinue to be fair). I assaulted with 1700 men, mostly Heavy Billmen and Dismounted English Knights. After my spies opened the front door of the Castle, I stormed in with one mounted unit of Feudal Knights and the balance of my Infantry, expecting a quick victory. I charged in with my Feudal Knights, and sent in flank and rear attacks with my English Knights and Billmen. Instead of victory, what I got was slaughtered. Every single man in my first wave was wiped out while only killing the French King and about 20 of his bodyguards. Shocked, I sent in the rest of my troops and watched them too get massacred. 20 French Bodyguards completely routed every single infantry unit I had, even after I had them surrounded and hit them with multiple charges. I finally limped in Yeoman Archers and my last reserves of mounted Knights and had to shoot the 14 or so remaining bodyguards to death. Final result of the battle, I lost 845 Infantry to kill 53. Even if Billmen and English Knights aren't "Good Against Cavalry" that kind of result shouldn't happen.

Hi SirAndrewD,

Well the main problem is, you just used the bugged infantry v cav tactic. Units with two handed weapons don't not attack cav after the initial charge. That's why you lost. Until the patch is out use Armoured Swordsmen.
