And they were definitely super tough guys when it came to butchering huge numbers of innocent men women and children.
But back roughly on topic, asymetrical warfare can be just fine on the CM scale -- in fact the small size of unit actions which typically start with the ambush of a carefully selected (and unusually vulnerable) group of the stronger army by superior numbers of the weaker one -- is an excellent fit IMHO.
Except absence of hidden entrenchments, undermodeled concealment and near inability to move without being spotted all mean that the tables turn rapidly after the first few shots and the ambusher only wins with a massive numerical advantage or by starting with the enemy force already in the killsack (neither of which is much fun for the latter -- kind of like that Debacle at Korosten COI scenario that was so badly rigged in favor of the Russians in order to give their cavalry a chance not to be totally slaughtered).
