@empireaddict: Bad timing, I'd have loved to see your Ogres in the game. There's always next time...
@therestofyou:
Let's talk rules!
Keeping it simple seems like the best thing (so standard rules as discussed before). But some specifics for the multi-player game deserve clarification. I think the rest of you have more experience than I do so please chip in. How's this for a starter:
1) Combined army breakpoint
2) Each side plays as three armies (i.e. heroes can only order their own troops etc)
3) Each side has three generals. One failing an order ends his army's orders phase but not those of the other two players.
4) Magic items can be duplicated across armies (as we've already done)
5) Premeasuring is allowed
And questions:
1) Do we allow units from one army to support those from another army?
2) Can heroes from one army join units from another army to give support in combat?
3) Magic, can spells be cast on units that are not in the same army? (I'd guess no?)
No doubt I've missed stuff, suggestions etc very welcome.
