I guess the answer is - that depends.  Don't you just hate that kind
of answer?
	If you can face the tough slot with something that will hold long
enough for you to blow away the weak slots until they force a morale check,
go for it.  Usually I try to face the tough slots with something that will
survive long enough for my really tough troops to blow away some of the
opponents weaker slots (NPC or PC).  This is especially useful if you are
taking an NPC location and want to save the garrison troops and equipment,
since they will be deactivated and put into the popseg as unskilled.
	If you can force one of the enemy slots to turn away or be destroyed
quickly, do do.  Use a high SA, or a good battle spell, or great troops.
If your opponent's slot has something like that facing you, there probably
isn't much choice but to put your best troops in front of him to avoid
losing the slot, or put a single soldier in front of them so you don't
lose much.  I know people who use both approaches, and both will work.
	Does that help any?
