Yikes, and I was thinking a Hundered or Two! I'm thinking a game with 50
people total would end really quick. Maybe that's just my inexperience
talking. Here's what I'm bringing:
300+ Western Blue coat soldiers
100+ Indians ( They could fit into a castle war as light foot soldiers )
100 or so Ninjas ( black and Grey )
50+ Samurai ( red and Blue )
130+ Horses ( can be used as cavalry for any force )
26 Cannons ( Wheeled, look )
70-100 Castle Warriors- All types
Of course They can't all be used in one game ( That would be one heck of a
game!!! ), but maybe it'll allow for more variety and larger gaming. They only
drawback is that I can't bring too many terrain building material. I'm going
to pack two copies of Fort Legorado ( I figure I can whip a few buildings out
of them ), but that's all I have room for. I have a few weapon ideas as well (
I.e. sniper rifles, solid and canister shot for cannons, etc. ) but we'll see
about those things when we get a game going.

We can do this! I have 20 or 30 "Patriot" ( Tricorner Hat wearing peasants,
sailors, suits and such ) Soldiers. Add a few cannons, a Imperial Soldier
brigade for the British side, and walah!! An instant War setting. Make a few
houses and a bridge and things would be set. Low stone walls to outline the
walls, an orchard or two. Maybe I should bring some green baseplates and trees
with me. Might do that. Anyway, sounds good. Anybody have a time after August
when we could put one together?
