I watched two players battling it out the other day. One had a tricked out army with a killer BSB with a 100 pt banner which was just controlling the game. Turn after turn he got into combat and won over and over. After the game I was asked how to handle this problem and I commented that he never once swung at the BSB. Well as characters can not take magical equipment with a magical banner most BSB's have weak defense. Often even rank and file troops can kill the BSB. Though most characters are one toughness higher and one save better than the troops they lead in most cases every 6 attacks should wound. Sure this doesn't sound like much but if a 160 pt unit does a wound to a BSB with 100pt danner than this character is half scored and that is worth half the cost of the unit. It also means the next combat this character is at risk. In combat one should alsway ask what characters and champions are in the unit so they can direct attacks accordingly.
