Cataphract, Clibanarii, whatever, against Infantry
#17
Quote: I’ still reading the original question to see whether I could say anything about the size of the mount. It ocurred to me that the taefali used big asses to carry away loot and also for other types of training. Is that your cup of tea? Mule.
Exactly. Discussing Almogavres in a general way had nothing to do with that. Or what Taifali asses relate to the original question: "how many battles do we know of where Cataphracts [..] fought solid infantry [..] and how did they perform".

Do tell though what source informed you about the size of Taifali asses.
