Depends on the client ... some give you a lot of leeway, some none at all. You have to take a chance and see how far you can push them.

Guy turned me down, so I went and did some other things, like a couple of quests, overran an Orc camp, slew some Brigands and some thieves as well. Bought and lost a war dog. I like them and I can see if each spearman had one you could seriously mess with the other side if you "salvoed" 6-8 war dogs at once.
So where is the damn village of Weinberg that is "two days north by road"? It ain't on the map that I could see, I had to go back and cancel the damn contract because I have no clue were it's at...
War dogs best use is to chase down broken or fleeing enemy.

Oh sorry, didn't read this. Yes, you move on top and open the inventory. The weapon should appear on the big grid. I usually do this to fallen heroes and enemies with hard hitting weapons.
During a battle? How is that done?

During a battle, yes. Just as I have written above

That would be to get your soldier on top of the dead (you see that corpses have a bag with them) and either press the inventory icon or C key by default. You then take the weapon and either equip it or put it in your brother's bag. I think it consumes AP and also has a penalty to fatigue (unless bags and belts perk is active).
Thanks for the consult, on it!
This, for me, was the hardest war game I've ever played.
Even on <dimwit> difficulty it just became too much.
I was disappointed because I agree it is a terrific game.
Not for the faint of heart.

It is indeed a very fun game. Just got ambushed during a night caravan escort by 8 goblin wolf riders... I think that after 60 days of play I might be losing the first few brothers
I am averaging losing one guy a battle, have 10 "under contract" at any given time. Need to get two more, an archer and another spearman. Playing pretty conservative, use "shield wall" . Tried spear wall and that tires your guys out big time.
Can I assume a brother can pick up a dropped shield or one that's been knocked out of his hands as well?
Nah, shield that's knocked away is deemed destroyed .. .so no picking that up again.
Thank you, that’s good to know.
Money, or rather the lack of, is certainly one of your biggest enemies in the early and mid game.
Kinda like real life.

Got 12 under contract, figuring out decent tactics, not comfortable, but feel like I have reached a point further along the learning curve

I don't think you ever get good enough in this game to steamroll every battle. My men are pretty well geared ("kitted up") and I still occasionally lose battles. This is just a hard game, but I really like it.
