To much "Osprey" affects me expressing myself I guess.
I will stick with Byzantine but I think I made a point of what I was trying to say about the effects of a horse-camel fight.
Procopios says that the horsemen had to dismount to attack a laager-type formation that the Moors made using their camels. It was impossible to forse the horses charge against the camels.
Kind regards
