Yes, that is what I mean really, they are tending to waver, panic each other and then make for the nearest exit under circumstances where I really wouldn't expect them to (like when defending against a smaller Papal army!!! ).

Thinking about it the majority of my line was made up of halbardiers and chiv sargeants, which probably didn't help (incidentally, why are chiv sargeants so much more fragile than their feudal predecessors, is it just a quirk of the game designers'?).

Thank you for all the advice, I'll certainly be trying to apply a fair bit of what you suggest next time (although I'm a pretty rubbish general!).
