Best way to lose a battle...

Seems taking your pretender to the frontlines was a risk you shouldn't have taken

The thing is, I never considered him at risk for this battle, and in fact he wasn't - at the end of the battle he had zero fatigue and some 60HP higher than the 540 he started with, having wiped out almost the entire Oceania army, and any remaining stragglers already dying from fatigue. Frankly, I could not think of a way to win that battle more completely.

If he got hit by an ethereal crossbow or something, there's really nothing I can say about it, but this? (And plus, if he DID got hit by an ethereal crossbow, he had the Elixir on him...)

I wouldn't say there is no risk beforehand when your pretender ends up dead...

You knew (or should have known) that your pretender was a berserker.
Berserkers die when the time-limit goes out, like Golems (iirc), someone paralyzed, or others who don't rout.

Perhaps not as apparent as what happens when you rout and have no territory to retreat to, yet a risk all the same.
