It depends. If I have a castle that needs assaulted, I'll sometimes send in the Leftover Brigade to break down the front door, or perhaps send them on a suicide invasion against someone I don't like. Occasionally I'll keep them around til my next Crusade, but only if I plan on launching one in the near future (e.g., the next few years). Often, however, I just wind up disbanding them, as they're not worth keeping around when there's so few men left in a unit.

As an aside, Tony: When you're ready, I highly recommend playing in Glorious Achievements mode. It gives your games a little more "flavor", as it encourages you to play your faction somewhat more historically. In addition, GA mode is nice in that you can win without having to conquer the whole frickin' map.
