minions
Minions are the answer. They can be astonishingly compelling.
My DM charged us with defending a bunker. Our in-game liege assigned us 10 soldiers to help with the defense. We organized our guys at various defensive positions, and soon enough on come the hobgoblins.
I gotta say, it was dramatic when a hobgob swung at one of our men and he went down with a single hit. It was then that we realized our soldiers were minions.
The hobgoblins cut through those guys. Bam, bam, bam, and half our troops were dead. We eventually won, with no PC deaths but only two surviving soldiers. We were doing okay but then got hit by an AOE that wiped out five guys at once.
Even though no one in the party died the battle still seemed like a costly ordeal. Friendly minions/red shirts are a *terrific* way to add gravity to a battle.
