One point I bring up is it was the zenith of cavalry, before artillery really got lethal, and rifles wete still the minority in small arms. |

Something about the combined arms, with none really dominating the field. Also, I don't know why, but I love the idea of officers on horseback giving orders and directing the battle from their equine perch. Poll set up by |
