As cavalry charging now belongs here - and separate to infantry....
Is there any support for the view that charging cavalry in nice regular tight formations isn't an accident waiting to happen?
Or is there any source that describes this facet of ancient warfare?
Or am I just otherwise right and that cavalry have to charge in more discreet lines than the apparent formations describe - but it's just too radical and bold a statement because no source describes it?
Any discussion possible? Any old cavalry types around?
