Thanks. I had to have a lie down after (2+ dice roll to achieve horizontality,
7+ to sleep).

Much as I hate accounting and budgeting, There is a difference in quality
issue here too. 30 nicely kitted heavy knights will go through 30 peasants
armed with dinner spoons like the proverbial hot knife.
Perhaps we might say 300pts each, max 3 heroes, plus each side (not player)
can kit out a commandering kind of guy. Technology level 3 (see rules for what
that means). No magic. Max 10 horse per player. Carts and wagons, with
realistic modes of propulsion (Horses come out of the number given above). No
seige weapons (armies have been on forced march, the baggage train has been
left behind). And when a weapon is marked two hands, that's what it means.
Before arriving at the fest you will require a working knowlege of the rules
(no, that doesn't include 'that's what we did last time') and a peice of paper
with all your 'fig's relevant numbers stated on.
Of course these are all suggestions and you may disagree (particularly about
the amusement value of catapults), feel free to posit alternate guidelines.

If there are uneven numbers of players I will supply a spare group to be
controlled by whoever we can coerce (or those who want to play but cannot
assemble an army due to peice/time constraints).

The wizard I fielded on Sunday clocked up 100ish points. Of course I didn't
use many of the abilities I purchased and did use some I didn't, but expect a
well tooled magic user to be quite expensive (magic mushrooms aren't cheap you
know...). The point is moot if we ban magic anyway.
