Well, the original "challenge" was getting to Rusty with the mage on Impossible. I bought the troll in Verona so before I got the troll, I did have no losses, no map kiting, AND no +leadership items (that helmut was bought in Verona too.) I mainly used the troll for fights like Richard the Cruel, R-14, and a lot of the heroes sailing around Scarlett in boats.
It's not that hard as long as you:
1) Get the Grand Strategy and Trapper medals up to level 3 quickly (I did luck out in being able to buy Trap spell early.) I had trapper Level 3 after fight 28.
2) Focus on ranged units with only 1 tank stack. The key to no losses is to not put your units in harm's way to begin with. If you're actually fighting with melee units, you're going to incur losses unless the melee unit clearly outranks what you are fighting, which is almost never the case in Impossible.
After that, it all comes down to positioning on the field. That's what so great about this game in that it really is about strategy while most so-called "strategy" games make actual strategy optional. If it matters, I didn't reload fights either.
