Ah. I must have read it wrong in this respect. Thanks for clarifying.
If normal Myth is "Desperate heroism against seemingly impossible odds", this seems more like "Call of Cthulhu with Trow"
Okay, maybe not that grim. But that kind of "The Dark is overwhelming", instead of merely "Big army of Thrall to hack apart".
So even with Connacht, unless I'm mistaken, its still a bad idea to try and fight the Myrkridia toe to claw.
Connacht's "Devil Slayers" company (Myth 3 thing) should be one of the things to go. Make it so that his men can stand, fight, and survive...but not "no losses".
He's not Superman.
With the Tain, the Myrkridia are in Really Big Trouble.
None of this "This is 'a' Tain!" nonsense, I hope, will be found here. But I'm getting ahead of the story.
