Well... I've been playing some of the more agressive archers when I realized they had charge bonuses. So instead of me trying to get one last salvo in before I'm ripped to pieces, why not charge them and get more kills + bonuses.

This is mostly concerning the mongol unit Sabadar. Sabadar militia for instance is a roughly even match against Noble Swordsmen (no bonuses) in a pure melee battle (no arrows fired). If I could get them to charge properly it may be possible to beat the noble swordsmen head on without even firing an arrow (though this is clearly inefficient and stupid)
