Fallen pulled the same on Occitan in the Tadsamesh battle with broken low tier equipment. Hell, we had half as many players too. And they played the match perfectly, it's just how that goes - and why it's important to fight EVERY battle like it matters.
Even peasant suppression costs lives and gear, and it should. Hell, look at what happened at Reyvadin.
Wait, that was a real ba-- oh, my bad. Nevermind.
Just kidding guys! It was a great fight. =D
