Cavalry can be used to perform several tasks on the battlefield.
Although you could manage without them, their support is often priceless.
Charging
Is good to have cavalry with good Charge Bonus.
Most of the cavalry units have only 60 people in one regiment.
As a matter of fact, I propose to charge only small regiments of infantry (60-100 people).
Slightly different situation is when the enemy is busy with shooting with muskets.
attempt to avoid charging from the front.
Before your horses will reach the enemy, the opponent will kill many of them with muskets.
The rest of cavalry will stick on bayonets.
The destruction of the enemy formation
It is closely connected to charging.
Note that your opponent is usually setting his regiments so they can form a line.
As a matter of fact, you will shorten his line allowing your troops to surround his soldiers.
On the diagram above, exclamation marks and circles means that the cavalry is fighting with infantry.
Depending on the size of the regiments the results of these clashes may be different.
you might use cavalry to charge from behind.
I recommend this solution if you cannot afford a cavalry with a good charge bonus.
These types of units can be a great supplement to your main army, putting enemy troops in crossfire.
