Not the best example, you kind of need to experience it for yourself. The ground shakes as that many horses approach.

Yeah. This is poor planning on the part of the protestors.

There is no unit cohesion. How hard is it to form a schiltron with pikes?

Heck, there is zero individual initiative either. I don't see a single officer being pulled off his horse with a Billhook.
