Now who's getting a little crazy? Sisters are not happy campers in
HTH, even with their Faith Points. They will fall apart if you hit

Hmm... well, plain old Battle Sisters don't have much hope in close
combat, beyond strength in numbers. OTOH, as you point out--FPs only
delay the inevitable--this is true, but Sisters can use that to their
advantage; if you can use FPs to keep something locked in combat for a
round or two longer than the other player hoped, that can often muck up
a player's strategy, especially if they count on only one particular
unit for close-combat power. That's _really_ what they're good for in
HTH, but it's more about delay tactics than actually being GOOD at
something. :)

Seraphim and Celestians and of course Canonesses can hold their own a
little bit better--esp. Seraphim with 2 attacks and their ability to
hit-n-run. Still, yeah, they are not a HTH army by a long shot.

You have a point about the tieing up, but I tend to hit the entire
army at once. Hit a Sisters army with a close-combat oriented army
across the board all at once, and they can't support each other. At
that point they are in serious trouble.
