No. We were more or less on a par with our foes. And quite often stronger.

What I was trying to point out with my example was the *randomness* of the deaths. Oh. A critical hit. Sorry. You're dead. This is an extreme of similationism, I will admit but it is one that is far more common than one likes to see.
