Bernard, just typing to say a couple of things – firstly, I love your books. I started with the Sharpe novels, then Starbuck, then Thomas of Hookton. I’ve now just completed the Warlord Chronicles – these 3 books are great literature, nothing less. Secondly, I noticed a post about Lord of the Rings and breaking squares. You (and the chap who posted) are right that cavalry didn’t break squares unless they were incredibly lucky – I just thought I’d say that, in the Two Towers, the uruk-hai are broken by the cavalry because they’re blinded by the sun and lift their pikes – as for Return of the King: I haven’t a clue how the orcs were broken there! Tolkien hints that they were surprised, but that isn’t so with the film (not that I’m a complete Lord of the Rings geek!) Looking forward to what’s to come! Best wishes, Adam
