The Centurion and his horse questions.

[Magnus]

LOL...so you post ideas as to why a centurion may need a horse, then disagree with yourself. :?: And besides, if a column of route is going to be attacked by the enemy, the cavalry is there as is usually a vanguard to give the rest of the legion time to organize itself into formation. Even then, that's some pretty standardized skills for the legions, so I doubt extra orders beyond a few toots on the cornu would be required. (it's basically go from column, into battle formation facing the direction of the bad guys)
