[Nikelaos]

big units already have their work cut out via cost and being able to be simultaeniously attacked by 54 burgmeister guards (9 squares sorounding big guy, 6 armed hoburgs per square)

now just put on a few buffs on the hoburgs with you're mages in the same way you would for the giant. iron bane to take down armor, strength of giants to bump up the damage, quickness turning 54 attacks per turn into 108...etc

also each consecutive attack per turn reduces the enemies defence stat, so with 54 unquickened hoburgs attacking at once half of them are likely to be striking a big old SC with no defence or parry skill - free hits anyone.

and that's without quickness, with quickness thats 3/4 of you're hoburg horde having not one but 2 free hits.

offcourse many can die with aoe weapons SCs may use and fire sheild but you'll still get a fair amount of free hits and you can cast some buffs to protect you're tiddlers, there are spells to protect against fire and anything else the SC may throw at you.

in short SMALL IS POWERFUL!!!
