Nords really need Huscarls to be released as soon as possible to give them better chance to tank some attacks with their better armor and shields.

Huscarls will help tremendously yes. Another thought that someone brought up is to not spread them out. Attack a point. I consider using two giants side by side. That would be a deadly combo and effectively a bulldozer style unit.

It could work, but overconcetrating so much might in one place could lead to vulnerabilities elsewhere. Also IMO Mountain Jotnar should rather have 10 wounds and Defense 2, making him both tougher and at the same time more in line with bigger creatures like Abomination. Wounds 12 and above should be left for really big monsters, like Ironclad Drake etc. And when it comes to Defense, it is silly that Jotnar has the same armor/t-shirt as FG Drones for example. BTW Crossbowmen look as armored as Men at Arms, yet they have that silly Defense of 1. Yeah, I know, game balance, rules are not reality, yet still some things could be corrected to make more sense. Take for example 2 commanders - High Clone Executor and Priory Commander - both have some stats worse than troops they supposedly came from.

i'd like to see the noble lord be resolve 4 instead of 3. that threw me in that game lol.

Nah, he is just a coward like his knights

The best joke is that a Priory Commander is also Resolve 3 - the guy comanding the bravest wariors of 100k (each squad with Resolve either 4 or 5). Hopefully there will be some good changes in 1.03. They could take an example from Oathmark and make shooting cause Resolve tests with +1 to that stat.
