Right on, brother!

Oh so true.

And... really... disregarding the fact that only Elite units can have • stupendous

the hero would cost (actually, he'd be *slightly* better than a hero, by • +0.5
AV). Champions? Hmm... Making a trooper into a champion actually SAVES you • 3 CP,
and you still end up with a slightly better unit. Again disregarding the • fact
that only already Elite units can have stupendous feats tacked on.

Anyway, the anorak inside me says stick with rule #1. But I could also be • talked
into 1.5:

(1.5) One hero per every 7 troops, rounded normally. 8 troops means you • get 1
hero, and then you've got 1 trooper surplus, which, rounded to the nearest • 7
means you get no more heros. 11 troops means you've got 4 troops surplus, • which
rounds up to the nearest 7, so you'd get 2 heros:
0-3 troops = 0 heros
4-10 troops = 1 hero
11-17 troops = 2 heros
etc.

But regardless, I'd probably opt for #1 just to be safe.

So are we saying that a stupendous feat constitutes a hero?
