Usae of Cavalry Bow/Sword

Post by david53 »

Hi There
Just wondered whats peoples experience were with using Cav Bow/Sword.

I've tried all this one line shoot and evade, I can't seem to shoot Armoured Cav down and most units I have faced are Lancers, who are on a + in impact

I like the Tatar army but seem at a loss after a number of games how to use them correctly any help please.

Also does a Tatar army of 7 LH units to 4 Cavalry seem all right or should it have more Cav

I would go for 60% Cavalry, of which half Armoured, half Protected. (All Superior, Drilled). And I would have the LH as Average otherwise the army gets too small.

Damn good troops, especially if Drilled.
