Well, I think that you can explain there may be a way to beat it. But no, my problem is that I do not think that it replicates the myth sufficiently. They are still besieged and hard put to it all the way through the seige. I think it is way too convienient, and discounts the obvious. The Lunar Empire has shown historically that when they are presented with a very dificult fortress to attack defended by fanatics they go for the bat as a generally excellent solution. It didn't work at Boldhome, and the Emperor nearly got killed.
