Certain psychological factors, also, in this type of situation, tend to favor the attacker. As a target's attention tends to be absorbed in avoiding one attack it is less prepared to react efficiently to another. Also, the elation and relief which tends to accompany escape from one danger tends to result, often, in a reduction, however brief, in the target's capacity to cope with another. This is a moment within which the target may find itself within the lance range of the next rider. This type of formation is generally not useful against an enemy which is protected by breastworks, pits or stakes, or a settled infantry, its long pikes set, fixed butt down in the turf, the weapons oriented diagonally, the points trained on the breasts of the approaching mounts. It is also generally ineffective against another cavalry for it permits a shattering and penetration of its own lines. It tends to be effective, however, against an untrained infantry or almost any enemy afoot. - (Blood Brothers of Gor)
