Through sheer, tenacious attrition I've regularly watched militia units take out half a Line Infantry unit, one on one, up to the point 80% of the militiamen are dead......then five minutes later they've rallied and come back!
I noticed the same over and over again. It is a bit annoying to see your highly trained line units not being able to handle militia/town watch in open battle.
