That's a bad argument tbh... just because the setting is fantasy does not mean to say we can't hope for a combat system with 'realism' in it.

Hmm. 
I am a fantasy fanatic. I have been reading fantasy since I read The Hobbit at 6 years of age. And I'm pretty old now lol 
All fantasy has basis in reality. Always has, always will. 
As far as medieval armies not having fox holes, I was using an example. Whether they be fox holes or piles of dirt to hid behind, they still had some sort of cover when dug into a defensible position. That would seem to give them an advantage over approaching armies. It was just a thought, not meant to spark an argument over fantasy vs reality, or whether fox holes existed in the time of William Marshal.

Oh I beg to differ! Some of my co-workers are clearly Orcs and I've seen Dwarves before. Don't they hurl them in certain bars? ;)

They do here! Have a friend I went to school with who won the Dwarf hurling contest at the Basque games a few years ago. Truly! Tongue
