I don't think that's how it works, but I do believe multiple attacks reduce the defense (or is it protection? don't have the manual on me at the moment) of the defending unit, so swarms are useful against big targets like giants.

And while swarm wont help the defense of the 'swarmers', each giant can still only kill only one human a round (at least not without a W9 blessing or magical help), well, until they start taking fatigue damage from cold auras

Yup, its the cold aura which is the real killer, made worse by the onset of winter. E/N bless is for longevity and its quite difficult for any swarm of mundane troops to consistently crank out so much damage so early.

Of course, where the bless strat falls apart for niefel is the fact that the giants are cap only; for future reference his capital is at (214) by the way, just to the south of the centre of the map

Jeez! That't pretty rude. Just posting someone's cap out on the main board. That sort of info is usually shared privately.

Don't mind me, the sub. Just checking out the old posts for this game.
