Militia can even be quite good at killing once buffed with Strength of Giants + Army of Gold + Weapons of Sharpness (by Agartha, for instance, or another Earth power like Ashdod). Enemies tend to fatigue out killing hordes of chaff, and then die, whereas the militia are only taking 2 fatigue from each attack. Add Darkness for extra fun (since it effectively halves the skill difference between chaff and elite troops).

You still expect to lose a lot of militia in the process, of course.
