Well, one thing is to pointlessly run around the battlefield waiting for the time to run out, another thing is using you cav (especially HA) to encircle, divide and destroy enemy units, one by one..

I used the second tactics a lot when playing with the Turks, and I managed to beat far more superior force. But once I ran out of missiles, I'd withdrew. Unless I thought the enemy was soften enough that it could be broken with one last charge. It would usually resulted with heroic victory, and massive experience gain for my HA.
