Logical is good. Another option is to have "real" armies be better than
"virtual" armies...
I'm also thinking a little bit "period" here as well, where a huge army was
anything more than a couple hundred men...
How about having people's "standing army" be whatever they have 'figs for, and
then let them levy virtual peasant armies if they have a war coming up?
If I'm being too realistic, it's the SCAdian in me...
