If your party is without soldiers and the location has soldiers you
will probally get crushed.  Before it was explained to me that soldier
slots are all multiplied times the # of soldiers for AF and DF's for each round
of combat vs. your lone character, I paid a heavy price.  What I thought
would be a cake walk turned out to be a disaster with 1 dead and 2 at 99%
wounds, and only 1 soldier on the opposing force killed.  My 1,000+AF character
could not even kill off a single 28AF soldier becaouse there were 10 of
them in the slot!  The fact that I was in the location had no noticible
effect on the combat at all.

One would think that a sneak attack would gain some advantage, but
it does not appear to do so.  Just remember to have equal or close to
it soldiers with that party when you attack.
