Well fought!

It's interesting to see how much of an advantage the heavy knights had over medium. How much did elite help?

Elite practically cancels heavier armor.
In this game, Armor kicks in a +1 if you LOSE a battle. Sometimes that saves a unit from taking a hit.
Elite kicks in a +1 if you roll poorly, on a 1, 2 or 3. So it keeps your from losing badly if you roll bad.
Both Armor and Elite cost an additional 2 points to the unit. Taking my Medium knights to 12, and costing the heavies 13.
So I am never afraid of the heavier knights.
