Cavalry and chariots against infantry

[Robert]

I'm with David on this one. Using the speed of the horses to outflank infantry and to roll up the flanks or attack archers would be a far more sensible use than throwing them head on against drawn up infantry. Also, disrupting the logistics and threatening the baggagetrain in a hit and run manner would cause any enemy commander serious worry. Accounts of the battles show that the head on attack on infantry is a very costly way of utilising cavalry.
