I didn't forget that units that are out of ammo keep firing. I had no idea that happened. I've never seen it happen in a game or read anything on the forums about it.

Of course they do. Anyone can send a thug without damage ability to fight PD with crossbows and witness it themselves.
Once the ammo runs out, they charge, and then point-blank fire.
Or maybe it was the Penitents or the 2 trolls that killed the Tartarian. Yeah, the two trolls couldn't even dish out enough damage to kill the Tartarian if it were paralyzed, and had a protection of 0. The Luck and the Regen alone would stop them. Of course, the Invincibility completely neutralizes the Pentitents BY ITSELF. So yeah, one Hoch-Hammer killed a fully-equiped Tartarian.
Have you heard the one about glass houses, Sombre?
*edit*
I just checked, and crossbowman look like they fire more volleys than that, but that is because some are out of range in the beginning, and some are not, so they fire every round.. but only half or so fire, so you get a count of around 20 volleys. But only half or so are firing every volley.
So I officially have no idea how Hoch-boy killed a Tartanian, except that the Tartanian did die with nothing but Hoch Hammer, Penitents, and two trolls.
It had cast:
<Invunerbility><Earth Power><Iron Will><hold><hold><Attack Closest>. It had luck from an item, regen of 20%, and a base hitpoints of 170. None of the others have anything like the damage capacity to bring him down. It's possible the Hoch Hammer 'saved' his Spirit Hammer throw till he could deliver it point blank, but it's still messed up.
