The problem here is that 'infantry double their move when charging
into close combat' and likewise cavalry '..have doubled speed,
tripled speed when charging into close combat' ie. the problem with
charge speed when charging into close combat.

So if infantry gains +10cm when charging on a road, cavalry
should get more than +5cm, because they too charge faster when
they reach enemy.

Of course, if infantry gain only 5cm bonus even if they charge
into close combat and so does likewise cavalry, it would solve
the problem.
