If you are using a less developed party, then it's best to keep your ranged infantry in tight with your regulars until ammo is short. Spreading out and charging is the next logical step. High level cavalry should wait behind sharpshooters until enemies begin returning fire. Spread cavalry and charge to avoid the crossfire. | |||

The Swadians have excellent knights which, when used en masse, have very few weaknesses. Initial charges against cavalry can lose a few men to lances, so it is best to spread out and hang around your ranged units (if you have them)until the enemy breaks their group formation and pursue. Once their advantage is gone, help mop up. | |||
===Against archers=== | ===Against archers=== | ||
Cavalry are the nemisis of archers. Speed is the key, as well as keeping your shield up until you have a shot at an enemy. Spread your knights out and charge early, working your way around the group thinning their numbers until they either fall, or your own foot/ranged men close and finish the job. | |||

I advise using Crossbowmen with a wall of dismounted man at arms/knights or preferably, footmen/infantry/ sergeants, as your knights will be hard pressed in catching up with a ranged horseman. | I advise using Crossbowmen with a wall of dismounted man at arms/knights or preferably, footmen/infantry/ sergeants, as your knights will be hard pressed in catching up with a ranged horseman. | ||
