Although there is currently no defense against blizzard, other than taking out 
mages asap, it might be good (perhaps in WC3?) if footmen could form a 
'tortoise' with their shields as the Romans used to do. This would allow at 
least one type of troop (the lowest at that) to survive, even advancing to 
attack the mages.
