I'm not so sure on the Knigh's Commander thing.

Karstedt and Bonifatius might appear like pure muscleheads at a glance, but they are still quite skilled in sniffing out hostile conspiracies, even if it's more of an instinctual thing for Bonifatius, rather then intellectual.

He seems to be doing reasonably well in Gewinnen, so he might grow to be a good tractician, but that sounds more like a good vice commander to me, than a commander, who usually also doubles as the Aub's guard knight. Not to mention that in the Ditter match, he completely defered to Rozemyne and Leonore for the battleplan, which is again making me think he might be better at following orders than coming up with and giving them. There's also the whole naivity issue.

I guess it's possible he might develop those skills and instincts with time, but right now, he'd be a bad choice and will likely stay so for quite some time. Then again, Karstedt doesn't look like he's thinking of retiring anytime soon, so he has the time.

Rozemyne is the commander who you want at the back, keeping the strategy together and the healing and potions supply going. Wilfried is the leader who you want at the very front leading the charge at the enemy.
