Okay, so I was playing another of my Arverni campaigns, and I realized one thing: I'm a shameless admirer of shields. It doesn't even have to be an exceptionally looking one - just about anything from the big white shields of the Gund-i Nizagan to the small, brown ones of the iaosatae: all are great in my eyes (even though I of course think some are nicer than others). In fact, it's gone so far to me that, whenever I have a unit with an especially good looking shield, I'm incredibly reluctant to send them into combat, for fear of losing them. Many times have I caught myself disregarding the battle, just staring myself blind on the shields of my Leuce Epos, imagining it in combat (rather than actually
sending them into it

), how it is brought back when the rider strikes with his spear etc. And their shields aren't even my favourites...
