Any vibes on the number of grunts? number of heros? number (and dimensions) of
vehicles?
Cap'n Ahab sounds like he has a crew of about 35-40, with one capital ship. Do
we want to set that as the approximate size for each force?

That makes it a lot easier for me to choose my armed force (since one of them is
75% aerial).

I'm keen on supernatural powers. I was interested in flyers, but I think it'd be
better to keep things as simple as possible. One of my characters is quite
powerful, but I'm happy to put a reasonably large number of restrictions on him.
Pete W. do you want to hide a few magic/super-hi-tech items around the battle
field? or do we just feel like mutual slaughter?
