Query - infantry in column surrounding cavalry

[Xaver]

Well, at least in nap serie (and the non WWI and WWII operational series) bagging is less problematic, you can bag cavalry but is rare do this in defense, attacking is other history because you need mass cavalry to made it effective and this reduce the front area and if you dont have infantry to support...

Columns simple are to strong VS cavalry, if i dont remember bad only austrians used a type of mixed assault column that worked to assault and to defend all around VS cavalry... but the other nations used a simple assault column very weak attacked from flanks and rear... in game even if you catch an unit from rear in line the cavalry could suffer heavy casualties, VS column is a waste use cavalry... in general cavalry die very easy and the advantage earned is compensate by the points debacle and now is not possible do that 1000 mounted rush since squadrons introduce a reduced stack for mounted units.

Its a game but are things not working well and taking a tech solution from other serie is a great help (REN block and armor for cavalry) and improve engine (for example touching how cavalry suffer casualties).
