Could you elaborate for those of us insufficiently prescient to already own those rules?

Depending on your particular choice of forces probably between 60-120 figures IIRC.

To get in quick before there is a mad arms race on this one, I have been giving the rules issue a great deal of thought, and as has been said "The Men Who Would Be Kings" is in the lead. It doesn't require a huge build up of massive armies, and there is some narrative fun to be had. I would up the force sizes to an equivalent of 30 points (using the points system within the rules). I shall dig my copy out and over the weekend post the units sizes and points values etc. (At present we are dealing with a family bereavement) but it will done over the weekend, and I shall also start up a "sticky" thread for game organising purposes.
Rules? You ask me what rules do I use. No, I don't do rules.
