What happened to the charge?

Most of my CM games tend to be somewhat slow moving affairs as each side conducts recon and maneuvers with intermittent "plinking" of exposed guns, mortars, and armor and then finally either the opponents armor and ATGs are all neutralized leaving a end-game surge of infantry and armor to overrun objectives and eliminate remaining threats. This is especially so of QB MEs. Seems we patiently wait for the opponent to make mistakes, take advantage of those, and move in during the end phases of the game.

It's been a long time since I felt I could conduct rapid mounted assaults around a flank even using smoke and overwatch fires. Once in a blue moon the terrain supports such a move but not that often.

Everybody else kind of in the same boat or am I missing something or being too cautious? Are there any Panzer Leaders out there that enjoy a thrilling fast paced maneuver battle with success?

The last time I tried large scale mounted assault, Herrbixx tore me a new one in Dualing Sledgehammers in the first turns as I "swanned" the British over the battlefield. Having since reverted to skulking about and plinking his Panthers I am having more success.
