Cavalry are faster,...Hey, how are you doing Monty!<br /><br />Cavalry are faster, allowing to choose when to attack, create advantages, and disengage if necessary. Cv are great to use as flankers (harass your opponents flanks :) and/or as Reserves (near your DBA camp)<br /><br />I have seen players use their all Cv army as one combat group and charge and hope for the best dice roll results. Other players setup 4 combat groups (3 elements per group) deploy in "checker board" fashion with 3-4 inches gaps between each group to create gaps and dare invite their opponents to try and exploit the setup :o) <br /><br />Cavalry with their good combat factor +3 and speed 4 inches can respond quickly and reach a threatened area in good time to do some damage.<br /><br />Cv have a somewhat even chance (rolling good dice) defeating enemy bows, blades, spear and pikes. All Cavalry in any army should avoid Camelry, elephants, knights, and war wagons. Cv are great against Ps (skirmishers) and (Lh) Light Horse.<br /><br />Cv are useless in "bad going areas"<br /><br />Thanks again Monty!<br />cheersPhil Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369365598439913360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521207674659027649.post-43490690668536236902016-03-02T03:30:59.087-08:002016-03-02T03:30:59.087-08:00Nice post and great looking Avars!Nice post and great looking Avars!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521207674659027649.post-5431367003243759322016-03-02T02:45:30.011-08:002016-03-02T02:45:30.011-08:00Lovely work Phil, these Essex figures have come up...Lovely work Phil, these Essex figures have come up beautifully.Lawrence Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626386564817082992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521207674659027649.post-90053925862171637182016-03-02T01:10:48.922-08:002016-03-02T01:10:48.922-08:00Very nice Phil!Very nice Phil!Rodgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447816347472085277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521207674659027649.post-26670531945940372692016-03-01T21:00:38.138-08:002016-03-01T21:00:38.138-08:00Beautifully painted army, Phil!Beautifully painted army, Phil!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521207674659027649.post-91439088879634091762016-03-01T20:53:53.545-08:002016-03-01T20:53:53.545-08:00Thank you so much for your support and kind words,...Thank you so much for your support and kind words, much appreciated Christopher!<br /><br />cheers,Phil Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369365598439913360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521207674659027649.post-30651519746668336352016-03-01T20:50:53.584-08:002016-03-01T20:50:53.584-08:00Thanks Mike!
