*Implying that the main purpose of Samurai's were for one-one duel, even in large battles*
Despite what fiction may tell us, Samurai's (and European knights, and Arab Faris, and Turkish Sipahi's, etc etc etc) did use tactics (aside from some exceptions, which I must point out usually ended with the idiots being massacred), how else would they exploit their full advantage in battle?
That duel thing was mostly ceremonial, to boost prestige and morale for the victor's side of the duel before battle, and it usually happened only when both sides has some times for chit-chat.

I wonder why the didn't join the Saint Church instead, but yes, their mindset does seem out of place.
But TBH? Chivalry was a thing
before armies have the firepower to do massive, widespread damage. The heroes in Nanoha could annihilate at least platoons!
Having a bit of 'realism' injection is fine, but only if the characters reacts with a similarly 'real' reaction. Against these Hucks 'befriending' isn't exactly a pragmatic choice, but having the heroes shoot to kill would break character, wouldn't it?
