Woo, my phrase "drive-by priesting" is catching on.

And consistent use of these tactics/their countertactics could add a whole new meaning to battlefield mobility, maybe give light cavalry another two of their RL roles back(Either fire and flee or mow down whoever tries to flee).
Yeah, options to fight in anything other than a head-on engagement would be nice. That's the fundamental weakness of LI/LC right now: They're forced into fighting in a manner that is entirely contrary to how they should be used.

"Pursue Routers" would definitely be a nice combat option for LC: They hang back on the side until an enemy unit starts routing, then they ride in and KILL THEM ALL! That's what I used Light Cavalry for in MTW: To chase down and slaughter the people trying to flee. NO SURVIVORS!
