How come my men had to be the ones obessed with women?

You're the only one who rolled a 1 this turn.

I'm really starting to have a love-hate relationship with that die. The effects are amazingly comical - until you're in a civil war battle.

Yes, the cavalry officers that decided to go to bed through the entire Battle of Bern were quite comical.

Just Bern?

-edit- Actually, that may just net its own subsection in the Levels of Losing aside the Hand-Wringer. "The Hair-Tearer": when units refuse to obey orders at critical points in the battle.

That's the one I remember.

And yeah, I had my own "hair-tearer" moment but it wasn't because my units didn't obey orders. It was because I was too lazy to cut and paste on the paint program and swap the dismounted knights on the right with the crusader sergeants on the left. I knew you had men coming along the walls from my left and I knew the knights would have handled your knights better on the walls. But I was in a hurry that morning and I wanted to send my paint save to Econ. So I never switched them. Your knights mauled my sergeants on the left wall. Which allowed your knights to make it down to the gates, hurt Jan's bodyguards, and tie up his infantry when he made his fateful cavalry charge into the town center.

All because I was lazy...

Dude, check out the Battle for Rome - the allies and I may have had it worse in that one. There were about 93 chances to catch Servius that were lost because the stupid cavalry wouldn't move.

Trent too, although not as much. It stopped the Republicans from going 6-for-6 in terms of netting Imperial generals.
