Ambush gives a big edge, but because we want to free someone, we can't be too heavy handed. If the goal was just to kill them, a few hundred pounds of TNT would do, or many RPGs... but we don't really have the time for it anyway. This really limits what we can do... even 3:1 to me would be very risky. We can account for soldiers and have a fair idea of how good they are, but it's the specialists/elite - angels, seraphims, warlocks - that are likely to be there, that can really throw us off.
