Monaspa grouped-cavalry strike
Monaspa: Monaspas gain strength from operating in a group, so their best fights come from concentrated engagements rather than scattered raids. Their high damage and mobility create a strong strike force, while their lower durability requires disciplined target selection.
Overview
Monaspa: Monaspas gain strength from operating in a group, so their best fights come from concentrated engagements rather than scattered raids. Their high damage and mobility create a strong strike force, while their lower durability requires disciplined target selection.
Plan and execution
Keep Monaspas together and move them to the point where several can join the same engagement. Focus on a valuable flank or exposed support line, then withdraw if the opponent can surround them. Use infantry or ranged units to hold anti-cavalry defenders in place while the Monaspas choose their entry.
Risks and adaptation
Their lower hit points make unsupported trades risky. Avoid sending a few units into Spearmen, Camels, or concentrated ranged fire, and do not split the group so far that it loses its numbers advantage.
