Quick question/observation: I recently played the 1815 campaign, and every time I fought a battle, my cavalry would suffer extreme casualties. In numerical value, cavalry would suffer, usually, around 1/4 to 1/2 of their total number. Is this normal?? In addition, when the game showed which units were completely destroyed, it was filled with cavalry. The majority of all units destroyed were cavalry.
In one battle against the British and Prussian forces, I won the battle and lost around 22,000 men, and around 10,000 horses. It would appear that half of all my losses was in cavalry. Is this accurate? And why is this happening?
