I am also thinking specifically of Knights. I think it ultimately comes down to gear and tactics.

The 250 point Knight has a better chance if he's heavily armored: DR 7ish will give him better odds of surviving when surrounded. 62 point knights have pretty fair odds of hitting feet/hands, but DR 7 would probably ensure that he doesn't get crippled, I think, although it also depends on the build and equipment choices made by the OPFOR. E.g. 2d+5 fine axes wielded by halfogres have a good chance of crippling him anyway. Even regular 1d+5ish greatswords wielded by humans might be enough though. I'm not sure without gaming it out--and I'm not sure what kind of 250 pointer you have in mind in the first place.
