How long for a hog to kill a skeleton?

I just had 6 skeletons and 5 hogs face off in battle; nine seconds later 3 hogs emerge. This feels a little excessive, from my calculations the hogs should one-hit-one-kill the skeletons.

Just to complete the picture the hogs were not attacking another defense or building. Anyone else experience this?

Your hogs were all probably weak from the attack and were targeting skellies one at a time. Troop on troop combat is incredibly stupid sometimes

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

All the skellies target 1 hog at a time and all the hogs target a single skeleton. Then the hogs have to retarget before all swinging at the same target, repeat multiple times and you get these horrible results. There is nothing intelligent about artificial intelligence!

Yup, I've had 1 CC witch kill about 20 hogs before because of this.
