Re: How dumb is the AI/Are U ?
To Baron:
the unit with the least hit points will always get destroyed first. A stack of units is treated like a ship with multiple components (each unit one component) and when there is enough damage to destroy the smallest component of the stack, it will get bLasted. So its of no use to build one WP with only shields and one with only weapons and hope that the shields will take the punishment. The armed WP will always be destroyed first as it has the least amount of hit points.

Not necessarily. The best fighter group would be one of 1 unit. See the above example. If the enemy is applying 60 points of damage and you have a group of 3 fighters with 21 hit points each then 2 fighters would be destroyed and the Last fighter could only took 3 more points. If you only had one fighter 40 points of damage would be lost. So, having smaller attack Groups will force the enemy to waste damage points. This is especially good against powerful weapons like WP heavy mount weapons. One such weapon can take out a 5 unit stack but damage will be lost while a 20 unit stack would take more casualties without wasting any damage points.
