Last night I did a stupid thing. Whilst my Scottish Noble Pikemen were advancing upon some rebel scum, I charged my general to run of some pesky peasant archers who had the nerve to fire upon the pikemen. The path of the bodyguard ran through a part of the pikemen. But no problem, that would just slow them down a little. But achh! For some unknown reason some of the pikemen on the left flank had their pointy sticks pointing to the rear of their formation. The bodyguards ran into the pikes and 3 just instantly dropped dead! So remember to give your general a breath-a-lyzer test before he sets off.
