    I usually roleplay by assuming that every soldier in-game represents 10 in real life.

    Did the team use a scale or rule-of thumb for unit sizes? Does 240 akonstitai (huge setting) = 1000 in real life? I realize that different kinds of units may have different scales.

    That's about right for Huge unit scale.
    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
