Hi Alex

Good fighting with you last week

My first inclination was to go to 5 to 7k with this, thinking that in the early days that armies would be smaller. Then I read numbers like 80 and 85 thousand troops, and figured that our little 960 men armies would be fine historically .

Now I am looking at less money again, but now with larger units. Imagine 5k and 120 man units (host selects huge). Beyond being a gorgeous spectacle, this transforms the game. You get only half as many units, but they are twice the size.

More thoughts?
