Always love your work, Michael.

Is 48 models - 3 units of 12 + 1 unit of cavalry - the standard LR army build?

I'm thinking about morphing my Westeros armies (currently sized to Dux Brit) to work in this system.
With goodwill to all and malice towards none...

I'm thinking about morphing my Westeros armies (currently sized to Dux Brit) to work in this system.

Mounted units are 6 figures, most foot units are 12 (a couple are 6).  5-6 units seems to be reasonable for a 24-point force - a couple of mounted and the rest foot.  So 12 cavalry and 36-48 foot figures sounds about right, and Leaders are included in the numbers.

A Dux Brit force is not far off - a British-style force has 36 infantry, 3 leaders and 4 skirmishers, so another couple of skirmishers and a box of a dozen plastic cavalry and you're there!

If you can, take a look at the book before you start a force to see how they fit.  There are only 11 unit types in the game.

Useless statistics:

Smallest legal force: - 24 foot or 12 cavalry + 6 foot if you go all Men-at-Arms and add in some upgrades.

Biggest legal force - if you go the "all-serf" route, how does 264 minis sound?

Lovely painting D!  It's a fun-looking game, isn't it?

Hey Momotaro! You're a mensch! Thank you!!

That "all serf" force could be fun for someone who wants to mount a "Surpressing the Jacquerie" scenario - and has a masochistic need to paint that many armed peasants.

Only 4 units or 12 points of any one unit type so no all Serf force if you want to stay true to the rules.

You're right Jack.  Damn!  lol

Might have saved some painting though  :D

OK, biggest legal force is 120 figures!

Do more than 1 force  lol
We played 96 points a side last night as an intro game with 8 players. Went well considering only 2 had played before and then only 1 game against each other.

Pics on my blog.

What min range are the foot sergeants from?
