I have never played a Mount & Blade game. I don't feel too badass, but it's probably what would happen if I was actually leading an army.

Thus the latter half of the battle is me riding around in circles avoiding enemy fire, and attempting to call out formations to my troops. Unfortunately, the charge results in my hero taking entirely too much damage. Unfortunately, my character isn't the most combat-focused, as I've found diplomacy to be quite useful. It began with me leading the charge forward as their commander, facing the enemy down one-on-one.

My army, a mix of long-time followers, mercs, and conscripts is doing its damndest to whittle down the enemy forces.
