Topic: New recruit gains +2 Resolve after battle fought shortly before he was recruited

After a reasonably bloody battle, I went straight to an adjacent town to sell some loot and so forth, and also purchased a new mercenary. Shortly after exiting the town, the script played out where the most recent recruit is distraught by his first taste of combat and you tell him that everyone’s afraid and he gains +2 Resolve. But, in this case, my new recruit hadn’t even fought in that battle or in any other one!

This was last weekend and I’ve started several other campaigns since and can’t remember the name of the recruit nor which campaign it was, but I saved a copy of the log (attached) almost immediately after it happened.
