In the traditional form of this conflict, conspicuously decorated generals could be targeted by cavalry, and their deaths could cause the army to rout.

“Another huge mistake that would happen in these conflicts is that”

“in the traditional way in which this military conflict would happen is that the general would be garnished and plumbed with all this extra you know decorations basically which would make him easy to identify in a battlefield and if you have cavalry they can just see here's where the general is let's go get go directly to him kill him the whole enemy force will rout it just makes your entire chain of command you might have a hundred thousand troops”

“But then your general dies and everybody else routes.”
