Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) 15:25, April 20, 2017 (UTC) That's not how you win battles. Yet another eexample from history: the romans against Boudicca. The Romans numbered 2 legions: 10,000 heavy infantry with some cavalry. Boudicca's army was huge: maybe 150,000 Britons. The Romans utterly destroyed Boudicca without losing hardly any men, simply because they placed themselves in a good position and used a wedge formation tactic to ward off any chariot charges.
