== 1634: The Baltic War ==
* John Simpson gets his own in ''1634: The Baltic War'' when [[Not a Scratch Onon It|his ironclads]] go toe-to-toe with the Hamburg defenses.
** This done, Mike Stearns walks in to conduct "negotiations" with the city, ultimately {{spoiler|setting himself up as the sole overseer of the city's interim government}}.
* On the other side, when the Danish Prince Ulrik and his Norwegian sidekick Baldur manage to {{spoiler|mission-kill an ironclad using a small boat and a spar torpedo}}.
Line 34:
* Ruy Sanchez de Casador y Ortiz. Whether getting into sword fights at over fifty years old or romancing Sharon, Ruy is a walking CMoA.
** Or breaking into a besieged castle by walking up and asking politely. He then proceeds to escape with the pope by blowing up the citadel of the castle, along with the barricade on their escape route.
** Put it this way: at the opening of one fight, he proclaims, "My name is Ruy Sanchez de Casador y Ortiz. Prepare to die." One uptimer (Sharon) thinks this is because he somehow found a copy of ''[[The Princess Bride (Filmfilm)|The Princess Bride]]'' and is quoting Inigo Montoya. The other knows that the truth is the opposite -- ''Ruy Sanchez is the kind of Spaniard Inigo Montoya was based on.''
* Anders Jönsson, Gustavus Adolphus's personal bodyguard {{spoiler|defending Gustavus from the Polish Hussars who try to kill him while he is incapacitated during battle at the end of 1635: The Eastern Front. He places his body over Gustavus's, and empties four magazines of his up-time pistol at charging Hussars. He continues doing this for a minute even after his femoral artery is severed by a lance. In the end, a hussar he didn't see drives his lance straight down through Anders trying to kill Gustavus, but even after piercing Anders' heart, killing him, there is still too much muscle mass in the way for the lance to even touch Gustavus.}} Even in death, he protected his King.
