Quote:AAAAA......AAA..... GGGHHHH! Not this hoary old chestnut again !THERE IS NO CONVINCING EVIDENCE THAT CAVALRY IN HISTORY EVER, EVER CHARGED FRONTALLY INTO STEADY INFANTRY WHO DID NOT GIVE GROUND!!! OR OTHER CAVALRY EITHER!

Although I clearly stand for cavalry not normally charging into an enemy infantry line, I find this aforism unconvincing. I would be so much more grateful if you posted some links to these old discussions to examine the information you guys provided and the unavoidable clashes you got into. It would be interesting to read.

Thx
