I've only been able to manage that in EB with the infantry generals, as cav will (and should) get wasted on a set line of spears (not to mention pikes).
My experience is that generals are nigh-invincible in RTW, but even more invincible in EB . One time, a lone general (on horse) that was left long after his entire unit was gone stood in the middle of my 1 silver star triarii and hacked down about 25 men before he died.
