IronHawk --

Actually, he's right. The turn limit means that you can't kill an unlimited number of troops, barring a nasty battlefield-wide effect -- and if neither side can flee, the SC can be killed through sheer weight of numbers.

Simplest example would be any SC with the Unquenched Sword against a huge non-fireproof army. The heat will probably render the army unconscious, but not kill them, so they'll remain on the battlefield without running into favorite death-shield/area effects like fire shields or Soul Vortex. The SC will be berserked by the sword, so he won't run. If the enemy army goes unconscious, and the SC can't kill them fast enough, he'll be autokilled.
