Leader casualties

[Scottydog1756]

We've all had the unpleasant experience of our leader getting "offed" in combat and suddenly a battle that is in the bag gets turned around by all the adjacent morale checks. I had the experience once of a leader leading a unit of knights charging into the flank of a raw infantry, routing it, but my leader apparently being one of the 2 casualties my unit suffered. But has anyone ever seen a leader casualty because of missile fire? I'm thinking of staring a Kingdoms 1054 campaign as either Anglo-Saxon England or Normandy and am thinking about the disputed arrow to the eye of King Harold dynamic in the Norman conquest. What are the odds? I've never seen it happen.

Leaders can't die to missile shooting. The in-game justification is that it would encourage weird 'sniping' tactics and the AI would have trouble dealing with it. The historical justification can be that leaders can be killed by missiles, but this is happening during the missile throwing/loosing that continues during what the game shows as Impact or Melee.
