You meant Elberan Carnes Duke of Ashfort or Murat Kalalalaranderen (or something like that) and the cavalry centre which you refer is the Ashfort Shadow Riders 70 90/80 or so, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, I believe that's correct. In the new system units like this are somewhat less effective. 4,000 hits are a waste if you crash into a crappy unit that would have been wiped out by half as much. In the old system the extra hits would get spread around to the entire enemy army (or parts of it - I really have no clue how hits were distributed in the old system).
