Total War: Warhammer 1vs2: Sigma's Sons vs 2 Swordmen
Race: The Empire vs The Empire
Battle difficulty: Normal

Swordsmen make for an excellent early game unit that can stand their own against most other early game units. Even into late game Swordsmen make for a cheap, inexpensive melee unit that, while lacking the specialty of Greatswords or Halberdiers, do very well against light infantry and can hold their own against heavy infantry, but will get slaughtered by anti-infantry.

Swordsmen do best supported by other units, such as crossbowmen, handgunners, and halberdiers.

Lots of people like to disband their swordsmen for the greatswords units as soon as they can. I disagree with this tactic, and its worthwhile to keep in mind that a unit of swordsmen with silver or higher rank is an excellent unit to make the anvil you can then hammer down on with cavalry or flanking greatswords from behind. They're cheap, effective and will tie up much heavier infantry rather easily, so remember to try and split down your experienced swordsmen between new armies rather than outright replacing them. Of course bronze or below are generally expendable, but still that experience can literally make or break your defensive line against chaos or a Waaaaagh!

Well now I know just grabing two regular units is more cost and time than getting a nice flashy regiment of renown army in the long run, acctuly makes me question if some are worth it at all.

You are paying for power per army slot of course 2 of the same unit beat 1 slightly stronger unit, just look at the stats

That'd nothing new.
2 regiments alow you to use tactic which is essential in every battle.
(Unless you have war hydras of course).

Swordsmen are extremely bad, they have no staying power like halberdiers do, which is the entire point of the Empire's infantry. The only reason to ever use a Swordsman is to use him against cheap Skaven and Vampire stacks to clean the rubble quicker.
By the way wouldn't testing this on WH3 be better?
