I think if I can get 10 or so, I should be fine for now. I don't see a scenario right now were I'd run more than 20 figures for orcs.Matthew wrote:Yeah, I never really thought about it before, even though I do the same, but it must be tough to get hold of horse mounted orc miniatures. I guess conversions from boar mounted orcs from Games Workshop might do, or maybe head replacements for already mounted figures. Tough corner.
Matthew wrote: Hmmn. Yeah, the Monster Manual is probably a good place to start. Another way to look at it without worrying about total manpower available is to design from the top down, taking chiefly into account the influence of the leader type orcs and goblins (or whoever is in actual fact leading them).
Oh, that's a good call! I have a rough idea, this is all stuff that my players haven't had to worry about, but now I find myself having to understand how these things will work in my campaign.
I don't see that in my Chainmail PDF. Is there some sort of play-aid that has things like this summarized?Matthew wrote:As I understand it heavy foot models have to be set up so that each figure is no more than 1" apart, and light foot should be set up so that each figure is no more than 2" apart (to prevent infiltration at first contact with the enemy).
