What happened was Ermor did attack B. My army in B fought. But the army in C moved to B but didn't fight in battle. THey went right to defend castle.

THanks for any help on this. If I made a mistake hope to avoid in future. In this case it probably did keep my pretender from dying! LOL.

Default action is defend. If you click on another province with him selected, or remove magic items, he'll revert to defend. I suspect there are other similar ways to lose orders. I've lost move orders that way a few times this game but without significant consequence to date.
I'm not sure if someone already mentioned this, but you can tell an army to move then patrol as a single action to prevent this type of situation.

Our previous battle was actually a lot closer than you thought. My communion was taking significant fatigue damage and if it had lasted a few more turns, I likely would have lost my communion slaves, which would have been disastrous for me.

Cool. Thanks for the help on that!

Yea. Communions are great, but if they turn bad on fatigue, things get ugly in a hurry!

They are great, but they add a whole new layer of complexity on an already very complicated combat system. If you ever want to experience the full fury of micro-management hell, play MA Ermor where you get to manage both communions and undead hordes at the same time. They are pretty powerful though
