The players note: du Guesclin is “the second march for those who live in the field.” Not the brightest nuke, but it almost doesn’t require you to leave for treatment. Recommended as a workhorse KvK after the main cav-pair.

His strength is in his stamina: win battles by attrition. An excellent choice for long battles for passages and ruins. Don't expect one-shots - Bertrand is talking about something else.
