I feel so proud. I was fighting off a rather large muslim revolt with a vastly undermanned garrison force and because it was a naval assult they had nowhere to go. So they all got attacked. I had a unit of orderfoot, a unit of Knights of Santiago with 1 man in (the general, rank 0) and two mercenariy archers facing about 3000 men. It was one of the best battle I have ever fought. He would not die I was sitting on top of a lovely hill waiting for death but he just rocketed off to get at the enemy. Oh sod he's dead I cry, but no. He just keeps killing, when everyone else in my army has gone, he stays there and eventually decapitates their general and they get butchered. Great stuff. After that battle he got promoted to a one star, got specialist defender, last stand and utterly fearless. How cool is that. I use him in almost every battle now he just rules, he is valour 12 and just will not die.
Like I say I felt just like a proud father about a son that has turned suddenly brilliant.
