Hi Stevie et al
Have you considered reactions in any of your house rules
Fast aux get to react when something enters their threat zone for a charge, charge considered as a move that ends in contact.
Roll a D6 1-3 nothing happens, 4-6 the aux get to move up to 1 BW this may include charging the element trying t engage them.
If there is a group charging and the the aux makes a charge s its reaction they move to contact and then rest of group continues the charge.
If contact is made to side roll of 1-4 means nothing happens.
No reaction may be attempted for contact to rear.
Light horse get same but can move 2 BW and if they are engaged on their turn for the cost of a pip they may attempt to disengage roll a D6 3-4 they disengage for a full movement directly backwards 1-2 they may not move. NB this may only be attempted if they are faster than the terrain the LH are in when they attempt the move.
I can see this getting way too annoying and take up too much time in a tourney but could be interesting for some home games.
Lart has some good evade and disengage rules which make cavalry bow armed forces more powerful. They can still get trapped or fluff a role but they are def more useful.
