I'm bringing them all anyhow, for display and stuff, so I'd love to share.
They're arranged in three different groups, so it shouldn't be a problem to
divide them.
What I was wondering is - I was intending to arm my peasants with pitchforks,
brooms, pickaxes and the like, but then decided against it, since I assumed
they would be less effective than swords, bows, etc. Is this true? I was too
lazy to check. ;-)
Another thing - my royal army (the Ocean Cubs) is organized in troops -
halberdiers, swordsmen, archers, spearmen, knights... Is there any way to save
time and roll only once and then multiply by the number of people in the troop
for a single cumulative effect, instead of rolling individually for each unit?
That would surely save time, but I'm not sure if I'd like that, 'coz I might
roll a 1 for the whole army and that would be depressing. :-)
BTW, Mike, are you going to be there?
