OGC Fighter alternatives?

[Ry]

I was wondering if there was a good, flavorful soldier class that was OGC. The E6 thread is spending a lot of time looking at the fighter and while there's some discussion of power mostly it's just being criticized as bland in a game with so many feats.

Does anyone have a suggestion? (Preferable something playtested)

Edit: Never mind, forgot that just gets feats too.

Hrm.

Conan's Soldier gets a Formation Combat at 3/7/11/15, Formation Master at 19th. Formation Combat gives you a circumstance bonus; say, the Heavy Infantry formation gives you +1 to melee damage when adjacent to two other allies on foot and in medium/heavy armor. Formation Mastery takes them up to +2.

Game of Throne's Man-At-Arms gets Armor Compatibility +1 at 3/10/16. GoT uses Armor as DR, it gives another point of DR. He also gets Armor Mastery at 7th, reducing the armor check penalty of armor worn by 1.

Black Company's Fighter gains +2 action points every even level (that's a cute idea, actually, making the fighter more...action-y). Also adds 1/2 his level to Command (special BCCS subsystem; equate to a vague squad/company combat system) and Profession(Soldier) checks.

...and that's about all I got right now. The Fighter-types that don't stray too far from basic d20 usually are pretty conservative.
