I second this (again) - motion carried (again).

Nice one to point out IceWolf. I often do the same thing. This is a tactic I've been using in my current campaign as Briton - in this case, an 'end around' with my light chariots (archers). As you state, it helps to take some of the enemy down with you - or - has actually turned the tide in my favor on more than one occasion.
