There are armor negating attacks as well, which ignores armor. Furthermore since the dam rolls are open ended there is allways a chance of damaging any unit even, theoretically, a chance of killing it instantly with any attack. Also as your fatigue increases attacker will get a chance to armor penetrate on hits. If you pit a unit like for example emerald guards against ulms 23 prot infantry you will see that even with dam 18, IIRC, they do not acquit themselves to badly. If you use a crossbow with 12ap damage it will do damage in 50% of the hits versus a 23 prot unit. There are plenty of ways to deal with ulmish infantry, few if any experienced players consider basic Ulm to be one of the best nations.
