* In the old pre-revision ''[[Magic the Gathering|Magic: The Gathering]]'' novels, a Viking-ish female captain (a lesbian with two wives, no less) named Ordando faces down cavalry in an alleyway to buy time for the general of her army and the rest of their small infiltration party to escape.
* In [[HG Wells]]' ''[[The War of the Worlds]]'', the ironclad torpedo ram ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Thunder_Child:HMS Thunder Child|HMS Thunder Child]]'' attacks several Martian tripods to buy time for British refugee ships to escape. The ''Thunder Child'' is utterly destroyed, but the refugees get away and it manages to off one of the tripods in the process ''[[Ramming Always Works|by ramming it]]''.
