Sub-Roman Britain (Cavalry etc)

[Alanus]

Sounds logical. I assume you meant "heavy cavalry" for destroying the enemy line as the third part of the last sentence. We hear much about how a tight line could stop heavy horse, the theory being that a horse would not charge into a solid formation. But look at the manouvers of a polo pony! hock: (And where did polo come from? Persia.) Every horse culture seemed to deploy a light and heavy cavalry plus foot as spearmen and bowmen, even the Scythians, and there's no reason that the Britons were any different. Have you Caesar's de bello Gallico in your library? Good stuff in there.
