I have Piquet and have read two of the rules books (the main book, and
the WW2 book). I haven't played more than one or two demo games, so
someone else can comment.

My understanding is that you should have had Opportunity Fire chits
available, so that your peasants could have fired as the enemy
advanced.

And I don't think you are required to use any particular card. If you
turn over the Attack card and there's no one to attack except the
aforementioned knights, you burn a point to turn over a new card.
