Thank you for answers and input - I find the unpredictable part of the game to actually be one of its strenghs: A cavalry charge isn't always succesfull, sometimes your guys get tired, sometimes pesants do make a difference (no - only kiddin').

After paying more attention to the matter I still have some difficulties exactly to *see* when a charge hits home, and when it fails. I must admit I never saved a battle replay. I'm good, but not good enough to admire myself, and far to selfabsorbed to wach my own failures. I usually have a clue why I lost anyway. But does charges reflect in the replays?
