I tend to agree as well that horses can tear into formations of foot. Why else would the Pike block be a formal formation on the field? Why else would they...
I had no idea that you guys in the UK had it so bad. When there is a riot here, the mob has no form much less NCOs to keep folks in ranks and files. The one...
