Well, in the case of Cunuxa, Cyrus the Younger failed in his attempt to decapitate the command of his rival, but his army won the battle: the 10,000 greeks completely routed the persian infantry, and the cavalry never attempt to contest the battlefield with the greeks.

I think ArchonShiva had a good idea with halving the damage, but allowing it to focus on one element, while the defender can increase damage to his over-all forces, while reducing damage to the element.
