La Bataille de Prusse 1809

Premier Rules for La Bataille ME (August 2017) Cavalry may either charge; or cavalry may move. Cavalry cannot both charge and move during any single player turn of the Chronology of Battle . Cavalry may charge during the charge phase; and melee during the melee phase of the same player turn. Cavalry may move in the movement phase; and then melee in the following melee phase if desired.

See the Cavalry Readiness rules for further explanation. Cavalry special rules pertaining to combat / morale:

 Cavalry never makes a pre-melee morale check unless so specified in the special rules.  All modifications for melee and morale made to cavalry combat formations are cumulative.  While heavy cavalry engages light cavalry, in either attack or defense and through a heavy cavalry’s front hex sides, the heavy cavalry melee value is doubled.  When heavy cavalry is in line, its melee value is halved.  Lancers in line formation have their lance bonus doubled and added to the melee value for each hex in which the lancers are placed. Lancers add this lance bonus when they assault and are in good order. The special rules for each battle have the specific Lancer modifications for standing or forming Carre .  Cavalry assaulting a Carre does so with one-third of its printed melee value. The lance bonus is never reduced by one-third when encountering a Carre . Cavalry assaults in the same hex as the square.  Cavalry is never disordered; it goes from good morale to rout, when it fails a check.  Combat results have been summarized in the melee / feu foldout with each game  Other combat arms may not join in to a cavalry on cavalry melee.
