I'm hoping not to even look at points before we play. Everyone
should present their armies. We all scratch out beards (so to speak)
and, hopefully, agree that the armies are fairly fairly matched.

I'm going to assume a lot of freedom in the size of my force. That,
and I am planning on being the only side defending buildings.

I think, by diplomacy, what is meant is finding an ally. Convincing
you that you really want to practice defending a castle, instead of
attacking. Now, that would be diplomacy.

Hmm. I may need to work up some proper stats for Wizards and Dragons
for another battle. Magicians who exist in a predominately TL5
universe. And, know how it works. (Hmm, what book was that?)
Electromagnetic area effects could be fun. Drain energy could be fun.
Than there is a little side issue. Does shielding, or armor, have any
effect on magic. A death spell which ignores all technological
defenses would clear the field rather quickly.
Anyway, I think you need to concentrate a little less on the
statistics and worry about fielding an army which will be fun to play.

Seems that way in all of life...
