Warlord is a business and as such its goal is to sell as many models as it can. If what the consumers demand is skirmish games, it makes sense to take advantage of what the market wants and marketing both the rules and the miniatures together. Specially, given the fact that Warlord is a miniatures company!
what's the issue with the number, 150 or so figures on the table is hardly a mass battle? I have been playing Mortal Gods recently and I think its more fun to double or triple the size of what they recommend as a standard size force.
SOME OF THE CELTS\GAULS WILL BE ALLIED TO THE ROMANS.. damn why is this so hard to grasp? Now whether 40 or so models per side is a "skirmish" or not, is entirely a different issue. Is SAGA a "skirmish"? Is Test of Honor a "skirmish"? I know they are not "battles".. pip pip cheerio
Following with interest myself as I've always liked ancients but been put off by the mini count, agree about warlord games, too many games and not enough support for cores, loads of bolt action units still without minis for starters...and all they do is keep releasing more damn planes/ships for blood red skies/cruel seas.
