True dat.  But is that the general case or a particular one?

You'll have to forgive my ignorance here but my basic assumption with  
cavalry (during that timeframe anywho) is that if they charged a weak  
line (weak in strength or morale) and caused a break Bad Things would  
occur.

If, on the other hand, the charge was met with a wall (or square) of  
cold steel then, well, they were basically pointless.  So my comment  
wasn't implying that Cavalry were fearful types...  It was just a  
game mechanic to try and model the "well...we're not going so well  
here...lets bolt and try again somewhere else!"
