I should probably likewise point out that I can give out loaner Black Falcons,
Crusaders, etc.  I have lots of Castle guys from all eras.

Yeah, but they would (IMHO) really detract from the setup.  I think, beleive it
or not, that not much more than the villiage you already have would be needed
for this battle... after all, while there are lots of troops, I think that the
ranges of the weapons, etc will call for a smaller playing field.  Unless we
get a whole passel of players we'ev never seen at a game before, which I tend
to find unlikely (but not unwelcome!).

That would be great, I think, if you and Shaun could work it out.  Cutting out
the setup time would probably make playing a lot cleaner (as Shaun and I
discovered during BrikWars 1942).  But it's up to you whether or not you want
to drive for 2.5 hours on two consecutive days... I can't say that I would
blame you if you chose not to. :D

Cool!  I will do so.
