The Loose Association of Wargamers

This is bound to change, but currently MWWBK size.

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.

So about 200-300 then?

Only if you’re not making an effort

MWWBK unit sizes & costs:

Regular Infantry: 12 figures, 6 points
Irregular infantry: 16 figures, 4 points
Tribal warriors: * figures, 3 points
Regular cavalry: 8 figures, 6 points
Irregular cavalry: 10 figures, 4 points
Artillery (poorly drilled): gun & 4 crew, 4 points
Artillery (well drilled): gun & 4 crew, 6 points

Standard field force: 24 points

*I can't remember how many tribals per unit.

Note the absence of stats for awesome sexy camel guns.

Typically I just sold my set.

Natives, fousands of them to the south east.

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.
