This list of notable war heroes does not make judgements about what constitutes "true" heroism, but rather acknowledges the fact that the term is normally used to designate anyone serving a miltary role in time of hostilities, who is treated as an outstanding example of honorable service by their chain of command, and especially by their comrades in arms and that portion of the populace of their state (and allied states) that identifies with the state's war aims. In particular, being free of guilt as a war criminal, or as a traitor, is in no sense implied by inclusion here.

Heroes fighting against a mastery advantage need to make low or no AP bids until they have augmented as far as they can.
Use augments to boost one of the heroes as far as possible - with 4 people augmenting the fifth, they should be able to get ~+10 (assuming the hero also augments himself, otherwise ~+8) to his ability in one round.
A hero with a skill of 17 against a villain with 17w who also has a couple of hero points available is in a stronger position, depending on how the narrator chooses to interpret the 'narrator decides' option of critical vs critical successes, which will be common in such circumstances.
