	DBA Tactics: Using Cavalry
		Cavalry is faster, allowing it to choose when to attack, create advantages, and disengage if necessary.
		Cavalry will be able to disengage units on its turn because of their speed advantage, but this doesn't usually make up for the fact that it is +3 to the enemy +4.
		Cavalry is much more capable of redeploying to achieve favorable matchups than most troops because of their speed.

	Cavalry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cavalry techniques were an innovation of equestrian nomads of the Central Asian and Iranian steppe and pastoralist tribes such as the Persian Parthians and Sarmatians.
		Cavalry found new success in Imperial operations (irregular warfare), where modern weapons were lacking and the slow moving infantry-artillery train or fixed fortifications were often ineffective against native insurgents (unless the natives offered a fight on an equal footing, as at Tel-el-Kebir, Omdurman, etc).
