Mint giant? Now that's a new flavour...

Seriously - damage rolls are open ended. How else could militia ever damage Ulmish infantry? The one-shot boulder kills on knights and other things like that are probably just lucky rolls.

Now, if you saw it kill a Wyrm in one boulder, then maybe there is something wrong.

And for the scouts, if using commanders as infantry, nothing beats the Herses (for just $10 more). I like to use as shock troopers with some magical trinkets (like a luck charm). They do pretty well in this hole. They aren't stealth, of course.

I prefer the javelist over the militia, just $10 more a piece. Better morale yet and the javelin is nice against knights, too.

Jotuns can throw their javelins pretty far, too (javelin range and damage depend on strength). More effective than longbows and maybe even crossbows, and durable too. (Expensive though - but you have to expect that as Jotunheim.)
