Hi Aryaman2
are you sure cavalry could and did overrun steady infantry formations?
I find it hard to believe. Cavalry might charge straight only after the formation was no longer steady but falling apart, possibly after many cavalry indirect attacks (turning to briefly following infantry line while throwing lances or shooting arrows). Direct charge? No way Jose'!
