This happened before any dwarven casualties.  The dogs, however, were, getting shot down like dogs.  Would that be enough?

I was under attack.  I had one marksdwarf run out of ammo; the only source of ammo was in the fortress proper, but to get there he'd have to have walked across a bridge in view of the enemy.  I kept getting the message: "Urist McScared, Marksdwarf, cancels Pickup Equipment: Interrupted by Goblin Wrestler."  The goblin was a level below.

Also, I could have sworn that my champions were running for cover repeatedly: they'd head for the station I set for them, then see the enemy, and run back.  Granted, that might actually have been wise: they were bowgoblins.  But dwarves aren't known for wisdom.

Any explanations?  My dwarves were on "soldiers can go outside" and the soldiers were set to chase the enemy.

I didn't think to save while this was happening unfortunately.

Make him the captain of the guard.  Being blind, the beatings he'll administer won't be as lethal, nor will he train in the barracks anymore to get stronger.

Grendus: perhaps the freeze is related to bug #32?  Could they have seen the target just before it went under the bridge, but not gotten a shot off until after the target went under the bridge?

InsanityPrelude: usually their brain turns back on after the intended target is gone (dead or run away); is that what you see?

Well, he's the remaining third of my army.  One is in bed nursing a broken lower arm, the other is dead.  And I have a jeweler who tussled with a fire imp, and a minor who decided to take a shortcut through the magma.  So I don't have a deep pool of recruits to draw from either.

Kol Tölunimush has been ecstatic lately.  He killed somebody by accident while sparring recently.  He took joy in slaughter lately.  He has lost a lover to tragedy lately.  He has witnessed death.  He had a satisfying sparring session recently.

It does appear to have been reported here, though it seemingly hasn't made it onto the official bugs list yet.

Thanks, I just necroed it over in the bugs forum.

As an experience getter, this is pretty weak: I get so much goblinite and dwarf toys to smelt every year I can barely keep up.  I'm building constructions and furniture out of iron, on a map with no local iron.

Fascinating.

No, I'm quite sure that my (non-masterwork, exactly as in your case) iron chests aren't disappearing: they tied up both my smelters, with my legendary furnace operators working on them for game-days at a time.  Everything else disappears almost instantaneously, including furniture.
