• The reinforcements that will arrive on day 31 of scenario 3 "From Peasant to General" consists of Imperial Age Cavaliers, Two Handed Swordsmen, and Trebuchets, and would very likely defeat any army the player could possibly assemble during those 31 days. Jean de Metz can be defeated and the scenario will continue.
