Well, the big problems there were:
1. I can only forge frost brands at the moment. To my knowledge, frost brands are ineffective (or less effective) against skeletonspam.
2. He got a Herse, which I generally don't even bother outfitting as they're pretty mediocre unless someone else can bless them (and then I'd rather have a Jarl bless himself and go at it).
3. The big weakness of giants in this situation is their size. Since every attack towards a unit reduces their defence, he can glob more guys onto my giant commanders and win via attrition (those skeletons will hit eventually).
That said, I do have stuff in place now to help against that, but I can't talk about it now (for obvious reasons), and I'm not sure if it's going to be the silver bullet for that strat or if it will fail utterly.
