Re: Pike vs Cavalry
Dedas got it right: the lack of any notion of formation is a key problem for modeling a bunch of things. One knight charging into a bunch of infantry will kill a bunch before he gets killed or forced to retreat. A line of knights, charging stirrup to stirrup, may cause the guys standing in front of them to rout before the charge hits home. That's even true of pike charges as well, at least against low-morale infantry.
