Caesar 3 Battle Tactics (Saturation Strike)
 
  Saturation Strike
Although Cavalry are normally very ineffectual in straightforward combat, there is one critical exception, Against enemy units who are already fully tied up in frontal combat against other troops, cavalry are very effective. Since the enemy units, when so saturated have no free hands with which to fight back, they are helpless against cavalry who may repeatedly attack them from the front, OR BETTER YET, FROM THE REAR, striking them down with impunity.
The cavalry are able to attack and disengage very quickly and repeatedly since the enemy has no free fighting hands with which to retaliate against the cavalry, or to pin the horseman to the contest. Several enemy units can thus be overwhelmed in rapid succession by horseman, as long as each enemy unit is pinned down, immobilized and rendered helpless (Saturated) by your heavy infantry and javelins.
