Yeah but thats just a tiny part of the board. If his opponent is smart, hell feed them garbage and murder his flanks with good troops.
A small part that can move around the board... Its not as if its stationary so its an "unstoppable force" for your opponent anyways. The point of the banner isn't "Oh this covers everything". It's the hammer that you can use to smash through anything. And with Boromir's might, they'll be heroic combating through the streets and moving quickly.

And anyway, with the banner Boromir still doesnt beat trolls fight value just ties them.
This is immaterial. The point is Boromir no longer needs to use his might to simply force this. He can fight them and rely on a roll off as opposed to just being beaten (if he chose not to heroic strike).

1-True, it moves, but this is in tight city fighting with that amount of troop level. More than likely, its not going to be moving more than 4 inches unless he keeps an amazing shield wall in front of it, or has some lucky kills to make himself some path.... Its going to be back and forth charges.
2-Thats true. Boromir mixed with troops though has enough might to do it without wasting that much. Id just personally have more troops. But its a choice Id make not everyone.
