OK a few things here...
That high a combination of training/EQ/Range are not all that common.
Being able to buy, pay for, and lead 82 SF is not all that common.
Getting consistent results with SF is not all that common. (You only got 1100 with 82 SF? My 29 SF got 800 hits.)
In short: These results are not typical. YMMV.
What is your SF stats Rob? And the weather wasn't so great for my ranged SF. I've seen a 500 CS archers(yes... not ranged SF) do 1k on a calm day.
Also, 1100 hits is on average. They actually did 1870 in one of the rounds.
+ smaller SFs are actually more efficient than bigger SF units I think. They still hit really hard in small numbers. Don't need to have as many SFs as I did. But one thing good about them is you do not need to command 200 infantry for the same result. It takes eternity to fix damaged equipment when you command 200 of them sigh...
