I totally played as Gan Ning for this and didn't just get annoyed with how quick the commander died and switched over to Lu Bu like the last time this happened.
So it's neat that these remake stages let you play as enemy side when you couldn't in the original, but when it goes off script is when you can tell DW8's terrible morale mechanic gets your allies killed super fast if there's too many enemy soldiers around. You've got to be fast here and go back to help Liu Xun occasionally when he gets surrounded by peons, particularly the Unit Commanders which seem to be just as strong as officers when fighting off-screen, but the game doesn't have the courtesy to keep track of them so you can't really tell when someone's surrounded by them.
