: neat...
: so how did you beat his berserks?

Actually I had made a maneuver which directed my healthy zerks into his side of unhealthy zerks. While my green zerks hacked away and got hacked at the same time, my halfdead vets came around the sides and doubled or tripled his nearest zerks. Which meant by the time his greens were gone, I had lost only a third of my men, and all my remaining-non vets were in yellow, orange, or red health zones. I also remember pulling away guys he was focusing on so I could give them a gauntlet hacking as they persued in vain.
Sounds bad, but I had him evened out plus all my guys were either vets or mini-vets by that time. From that point onward it was nothing more than obsessive micromanagement.
It sure was close though. All I had left was 2 zerks: one zerk that had too many kills to register on the top bar but was so close to death that it would only take one arrow. And another zerk that was in orange health but less kill points.
I used the second zerk to hack TPH's remaining 2 soulless while the other one dodged their javelins. It was all I needed to win the game... it was KotH.
Before that final melee I was lucky. I had engaged a much larger melee force and was about to charge into it knowing I would die, but the attacker called the bluff another player made when the third player came in with duff heroes. If that hadn't happened I would have died and had nothing left except some halfdead souls and a wight that had already taken 2 javelins.
But it did happen. :)
