Cavalry support in inf v. cav melee? (BLB1)

Can you actually send in one of your own cavalry squadrons in the rear of an infantry battalion of your troops, which was charged by an enemy squadron and is now in melee?

(I have a photo of the situaion, but don't know how to upload it.)

Well, not that bad as I beat off several charges with defensive volleys; now just one Garde francais battalion was laughtered in 3 rounds, and actually only in the 3rd round with 1 casualty and a bad test of a 1 on a D6 with a rereat as utcome of the morale test. Next I was caught in the back....
Next time better :lol:
