So, to summarize:

B1's are somewhat useless in defence, but best options are:

1) Attack *2 then Leech (especially for raiding thugs).
2) Retreat, then get glorious revenge
3) Blood hunt with better troops that can bring the pain

I like option 1, unless ghouls / wolves / barbarians attack. I'm thinking 2 is the best "general" option, with a transition to 3. In any case... thanks for the help!
