An elite, awesome soldier, but still just one among many. Small squad actions in support of a bigger force, os simply engaging in battle against even numbers to take out a single entrenched enemy or commanding officer would be an adventure in of itself.In the paragon tier, a PC would be the lynchpin of an entire battle. A group of PCs could have a significant effect on the outcome of a major fight by taking down enemy forces and leading the assault on major strongholds, much like you are suggesting.In the epic tier, a PC doesn't need an army. The enemy musters its armies just to take down lone PCs, and the PCs can wipe out armies of hundreds or thousands without any support or backup. An actual full-scale military battle between forces of epic level would be apocalyptic in scale.</blockquote>
