Quote:I think that's it, yes. Even heavy cavalry can't simply ride through infantry head-on, so the role of unarmoured cavalry must be the possibilities already mentioned by you.
OK. one confirmation of my thoughts. Anyone know more about western types of cavalry. Gauls? Celt-Iberians? Dacians (did they use cavalry?) Greek cav?
I am particularly interested in the Germans use of interspersed infantry amongst their horsemen. . .
Any tribes that rode their horses to the fight and then dismounted to fight on foot?
I look forward to the discussion
