Hi Mark,
On your question of depth all depend's on the Horse or Dragoon regimental strength.
In BLB it's normally between 1 to 4 squadrons in strength, historically some regiments were even stronger up to 9 squadrons.
If you read some battle accounts most cavalry operated in Brigades, these being of one, two or three regiments per brigade.
Take the Gendamerie de France which had a regimental strength of 8 squadrons and was a brigade within itself.
I have my Horse and Dragoon regiments in ranks of a single squadron and depending on the number of squadrons in that regiment as to how many ranks i.e. Lumley's Horse of 3 squadrons in 3 ranks.
In BLB you can use the "All or Nothing" charge once in a game, this gives you all the front squadron, half the second squadron and half the third squadron in the initial melee.
Hope this helps,
Ray.
