It might be easier if you told us how *you* ran them.

If we're assuming that you would run this guy, then I would say:

Run him in no body armor, using a War Hammer against all armor
types.  I would run him 10-5-6-HE-HE-Decis in the first minute,
10-6-8-HE-HE-Decis in the 2nd, and 8-5-8-HE-HE-None in the
3rd through 6thon minutes.  In desperation, I would run him
10-10-6-RA-BD-Decis.  I would train WT to 13, and then go skills
after that.

However...I have run a few bashers like this, and not a single one
of them has done well.  Low DF/medium WT bashers are just doomsday
on your W/L record.  You can almost certainly do better than this
on another roll-up.

Not bad...not bad at all.  The WL is a little low, but that's not
deadly, especially considering the style (slashers don't need much
WL).

I would run this guy in no body armor, with a SC vs. light armor
(0,7), a LO vs. medium armor (8,14) and BS vs. heavy (15,+).  Run
him 10-6-6-RA-AM-None for the first two minutes, 10-4-8-RA-AM-Slash
for the 3rd, and 8-2-8-RA-AM-None for the 4th and on.  In Desperation,
I would go 10-10-6-RA-AM-Decis.

Train skills.

Often, when a beginning offensive matches up against another young offen-
sive, the loser looks more like a pincushion than a warrior hopeful.
