Increasing Cavalry Charge Contact - Ultra Wide Hammer technique
Multi model Cavalry Units can normally only be spread wide enough so that they are 4-5 ranks deep, limiting how many models can get into contact when they charge a unit.
To maximise how many models actually get into contact with enemy models we can use an ultra wide formation by using a special movement technique before the charge. I call this the Ultra wide Hammer Technique, after the Hammer and Anvil tactic.
To execute this technique you simply give a column movement order by holding down shift and dragging path for your unit to follow. This will drag them into a long thin spread out column formation.
Simply path the unit behind and parallel to the main battle line (The Anvil) and when it's in a good position, charge it into the rear (The Hammer). This maximises how many models will actually land their charge against an enemy model.
It can also be used to run your cavalry through a narrow gaps e.g. between two units in the middle of a battle line without getting blobbed up on the infantry. This way you can flank by running through the centre of your lines.
