In regards to the medieval section

It is a common myth that the middle ages were dominated by cavalry, but this is completely false. Secondly, the first and most common reasons for the dismounting of knights was to reinforce infantry since only the expertly trained infantry would stand against the charge of heavy cavalry. The tactic of shooting out the horses occurred hundreds of years after the Franks with Charlemagne regularly dismounted. Thirdly, the immortals were by no means strictly disciplined. They were elite soldiers, but the entire Persian army during this time knew little in the way of group tactics. This is reflected in the strength of the phalanx used by the ancient Greeks and Macedonians in defeating these loosely formed soldiers. This entire article needs to be expanded in regards to ancient and medieval infantry.146.57.249.81 (talk) 19:32, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
