Is Zero Losses on Normal Mage possible in KB:AP?

[DGDobrev]

Well, you will need some phantom support, but you will also need stone skin to minimize the losses. losses are a big problem against Ktahu, and they are even bigger problem against baal. For a mage, it's like winning a chess game vs. opponent when you take away your queen, both rooks and both bishops in the beginning. There just isn't enough firepower to deal with both the damage and the losses.

The first attempt against baal ended up with 704 losses. Nice.

There is another problem here. Bill Gilbert's Leadership is equal to your own. So if you're a warrior with 50k+ leadership for this battle (using the wanderers' scroll), Bill Gilbert will have just as much. Now that seriously tilts the scales in your favor and makes the no-loss much easier.
