Empire III has no Blown Cavalry rule just 3 Fatigue points at end of impulse in which a charge or charges took place. IV and V brought in the Blown 'rules' with only 1 Fatigue Point. RxE follows the latter rule. What was the thinking behind the change?

But in my experience those 3 fatigue points ( in III) do start to wear out a cavalry unit, 1 time gets detrimental, 2nd mostly makes the unit susceptible to any other cavalry unit that isn't worn out.
Seems to work for me

Yes I'm inclined to agree with 14Bore that 3 Fatigue Points at the end of impulse is a good idea but maybe having Blown rule/counters stops said Cavalry performing any form of Charge in the following impulse owned or otherwise. Like the idea of Heavy/Medium Cav having only TWO functions and Light THREE per impulse.
