Default Re: Message from Vanheim

I don't think it's possible to share a replay (without sharing the whole turn and password), but its not terribly hard for elite, dual blessed (just guessing) troops to defeat an arbitrary amount of chaff. Assuming F/W blessed vans (again, guessing) it's not a stretch for them to each kill 1-3 cheap units a round...and with that ratio of troops most of the vans will be able to engage while a good portion of the chaff will be in the back rows waiting for their turn. Figure some of the chaff may have been ineffective archers, and probably not too great moral (you don't have to kill anywhere near all 300). So if most of the Vans are able to average a couple kills per round, it'd only take 3-4 rounds to kill close to half the 300. Throw in maybe a thunderstrike or two and the chaff will be routing before you know it. Now, that's kinda a best case scenario, and I doubt that it was complete chaff they were up against, but with that super high defense the Vans can usually keep whacking significantly longer than 3 rounds. Even if their kill rate was one third of that against heavy infantry (less than one kill per turn apiece...and this is quickened 2 flaming attacks) they're not dropping from fatigue yet after 10 rounds, and a defense value more than 12 above the attackers attack value combined with glamour means they almost never get hit. Not a pretty site...depending on your perspective.
