cavalry charges against pikes units

Attack rearmost almost never works for me. They always hit the rear of the front formation, ignoring the archers and mages and commanders behind those. This is fliers and cavalry both.

If they pass close enough to an enemy formation, I find your troops tend to change targets and attack that formation, instead of the rear one they had their sight on They would probably resume their rear attack once they got rid of the one that got on the way (or rather, "near the way"), but by then it doesn't matter anyway...
