Tutorial Six Cavalry
Posted: Thu Aug 15, 2013 3:11 am
Having been soundly defeated about 6 times now in the Cavalry tutorial six, I think I need some advice.
So far, I've tried advancing towards the objective mounted, then forming line, dismounting, and advancing from there on foot. The enemy artillery scoots away and their cavalry rarely dismounts, and usually ends up charging and routing me.
So I tried much the same, but then holding a couple of regiments mounted on the flank. Not a lot better, if at all.
My dismounted regiment, the 5th Virginia I believe, usually gets trounced from a cavalry charge too.
Once I tried sending my regiments mounted frontally and on wide movements around the enemy, towards where the artillery usually scoots to. This did better, slightly.
So how does one handle cavalry, in a cavalry vs cavalry engagement? thanks for any help.
