Jotun Woodsmen with Death 9, Nature 9.

I played about a dozen turns with this, but wasn't overly impressed. It wasn't bad, but I thought it should be better. So I tried a Son of Niefel with Nature-9/Water-9 and it appears to be working much better. With D9 I was losing 1-2 woodsmen per turn in the early battles (please bear in mind that I set indies to 7). With W9 instead, I haven't lost any. The +4 defense keeps more of my troops alive, and the extra attacks from Quickness dishes out damage faster so the enemy routs sooner.

I'd overlooked blessing strategies prior to this thread. Now I'm a convert.
