Last evening I played a battle between Anglo Saxons and Normans. During the battle a unit of spear moved into contact with knights.
Some how it has never seemed right to me that foot can move into contact with mounted but the DBA rules allow it.
Many other rules do not allow it.
What do others feel?

No problem here, as history records instances where infantry did assault cavalry. Alexander’s campaign in the Hindu Kush (Scythians) and Caesar at Pharsalus come to mind. |

It was called "Tackle Ambushes This Way" by Ivor Suprise. |

I still prefer Kate Bush in the 1980's...

Certainly more attractive than George Bush, but not sure who was the better singer.
