Persians had set a proper camp in Marathon unopposed.
They were embarking their horsemen and according to Aelian this was th reason of Miltiades attack
It has been discussed in the othismos threads.
Different opponents require different methods.
If your foe was Greek phalanx you manouver more and charge less.
In marathon they advanced 1300 meter in open order and they charged the last 200 meters.
Kind regards
