Under the HW rules it is definitely _not_ necessary for it to be two exchanges. The cavalry wants to cut through the spearman; the spearman's defensive action is to set his spear to receive the charge. Should the spearman have any applicable edges he gets the benefit of those if he wins the exchange.

No need to take two exchanges.
