How do you all handle mounted combat?

Hi Guy,

One thing I did was make war horses 3 hex figures. This makes them harder to engage.

One thing that TFT does not handle well is a cavalry charge against a row of guys. In real life the horse smash down the men and blast thru. In TFT the horses hit the zone of control of the thin line, become engaged and stop instantly.

Full charge at a maximum speed gallop to instant stop. I house ruled that a charging horse could ignore the engagement rules somehow, but never found a version that I really liked. (Hopefully you can. This is the key problem in the current TFT mounted combat rules.)

Warm regards, Rick.
