The worst part is I had won the battle and was chasing down routing men.

The even more worse part was that the stakes were my own. And the enemy didn't even have cavalry.

Yeah, I accidently killed my King and a hired general with my own stakes in the Carribean once. Not twice, though.

Anyways, it was only one highlander who got run through by a stake out of 2 units that charged. It must have been pure chance.

Poor bloke should have looked where he was going

. It's the best way to weed out the useless recruits from the good. Just run 'em at a field of pointy sticks and hire whoever comes out the other end.

Thank god. I am not alone...
