	Ramillies - LoveToKnow Watches
		While Villeroy was trying to bring up supports from the left to take part in the cavalry battle, the French in Ramillies were driven out into the open, where the Allied cavalry, having now' gained the upper hand, rode down many battalions.
		Most of the French cavalry from the other wing, having to force its way through the baggage trains of the army (these had been placed too near the fighting lines), arrived too late, and once Ramillies had fallen the whole line of the Allies gradually took up the offensive.
		Marlborough's unequalled tactical skill and judgment thus sufficed not merely to win the battle, but to win it with so large a margin of force unexpended that the fruits of his victory could be gathered.

		Luckily for the phalanxes, their flanks are guarded by light and heavy cavalry, and these form a much greater threat to the Romans than either of the aforementioned lines.
		So, since he himself is on the left wing of the Persian army commanding their heavy cavalry, he orders a charge straight at the lighter-armed Mattiaci Legion at the left of the Roman line.
		The Surenas and his cavalry also can’t retreat, because Prince Ormisdas’ unexpected resurgence has boxed them in from the south and west, there’s a Roman unit in the zone to the east, and the Surenas’ own light cavalry is being attacked in the zone to the north, so he can’t retreat there either.

		The commonest will be as a centre and two wings, with the majority of the close-fighting infantry in the centre and the majority of the cavalry divided between the two wings.
		Cavalry [largely Cv (O) with a few LH (O)] and other supporting troops are only sufficient to drive off enemy psiloi and support the flanks of the legions.
		The army should not, however, be regarded as a cavalry army, and works best as a balanced force with all branches of the infantry and cavalry cooperating to make best use of their respective strengths.

		Their forces were arrayed from their right (close to the table edge), cavalry (O) with light horse (O) behind, knights (S), spears (I) with psiloi (O) support and Andalusian light horse (O), reaching to just past the centre point of the table.
		Unfortunately for the Spanish, their spears could not force any result against our right wing cavalry and light horse, but our cavalry and Janissaries were able to fairly easily defeat their right wing cavalry, while holding off their right wing light horse.

		Meanwhile, the Royalist left wing (mostly cavalry with two small heavy infantry units) went around Cheriton Wood to the east, where they got charged by the Roundhead left wing cavalry.
		The big fight was in a small vale west of the woods, where the Roundhead right and Royalist left wing cavalry clashed in a savage, swirling fight.
		Alas, both the Roundhead wing commander and his replacement ended up pursuing fugitives off map and the Roundhead army commander (Waller) also fell in that last charge, at the head of the famous "Lobster" regiment.

		The Carthaginian cavalry defeated their opposite numbers despite the narrow frontage and so are given a +1 advantage.

		Two light cavalry units and a howitzer battery from the division stood on the hills behind the village, leaving its defense to two battalions of infantry.
		He sent his cavalry division and one infantry division to his far left, to sweep across the river and up the valley to outflank the Austrian town, while another division was sent straight toward the town itself.

		Austrian cavalry regiments fielded up to 8 or 9 squadrons in this period, hence why many of the cavalry bdes are big.
		The cavalry morale ratings are fairly arbitrary, and meant only to ensure that they beat the Prussian right wing cavalry fairly handily, but don't crush the infantry.
		It is probably necessary to deploy the right wing cavalry brigades two up and one back in order to make them fit, since the 3 bdes should only consume 7" of frontage.
