Cavalry and chariots against infantry

[Macedon]

? What second charge? The one against the "many". The 150 men laying around as skirmishers were a lure to draw the British cavalry to a trap and it worked. The text I provided is the original account of Churchill without the many additions of comments found in the other texts provided. Your text was not from Churchill's book but from someone who made a description of the action based on what Churchill wrote. This is how different interpretations can be from the original texts, thank Gods, this was in English, imagine it was in Sudanese... mile: mile:

However, by simply stating that this is the actual text of Churchill and not further discussing it, I have to close up the discussion of modern examples, as Moi asked us to do. We mods have to comply with the rules as everyone else. Until we mods fully resolve the issue of modern discussions/examples, feel free to PM me for any questions/objections you may have on this issue, but do not push it further with paradigms more modern than suggested here.
