Multiple Cavalry Melees - some observations

[SnakeEyes]

Thoughts - gameplay must by it's nature be a compromise.

Cav v Cav .. this would be two groups hitting each other and then not moving forward very quickly as there would be a lot of individual fighting going on after initial contact. The attacked would if no more enemy in front would turn to fight those who had passed through and visa versa - No ?

Cav v Skirmishers .. The cavalry whether charging or not would move quicker than "normal". They would not stop for 1 on 1 combat but simply traverse the ground as a body slashing at and soldier that appeared in front of them. Then carry on at speedto the next. I imagine the horses hooves would cause as much damage as the swords. - No?
