I deployed all my best troops, brought my speedy Fanatics around to the flanks of a Saracen spear wall, and charged...

BAMMO! Their incredible charge stats ensured the total disintegration of the spearwall, and they spent the rest of the battle running around and charging various engaged units until they hit breaking point. It was awesome to watch them run amok.

I then merged two valoured-up Fanatics units (for a total average valour of 3, plus bonus from General) to create a scary flanking force for future use.
