So much so that I volunteered for one of the aforementioned ambushes. it was just a column of troops. A dozen or so infanry with no support; magical or mechanical. We arrived, and set our ambush. One of the dozen soldiers (would you look at that, military intelligence was right for one. Sort of) towered above the others, looking like he was dressed in what I thought was knightly armor.
