Can you please provide your source for me needing 3 supporters? The Battle Policy says I need 2, unless I'm misunderstanding it.

As for Roncevaux Pass, that doesn't hold up to me as a valid rebuttal for 2 reasons. First, that was a huge battle where thousands participated. You can't compare a huge battle to a 5 on 5 and say they would be the same. David cannot ambush Roland with the same overwhelming force that the Basques did. It's a 5 on 5, not an army fight. As I already mentioned, amd as you tacitly ignored, physical factors like metallurgy are much easier to argue with than nonphysical factors like strategy.

Secondly, the Basques were still of the same time period as Roland. They might not have had high-tech armor but they knew about it and knew how to bypass it. Yes, David could figure out how to get around Roland's armor, but this will be considerably more difficult. 1,000+ years is huge mate, and you can't downplay that.
