"A "Bear Yourselves Valiantly" Fantasy Rules Battle Report" Topic

Last Friday night, we were short a game for our club's meeting, so I volunteered on Thursday to run a scenario using our under-development Fantasy, Ancients & Medieval mass combat rules, "Bear Yourselves Valiantly". So, to come up with a quick scenario for the game, I relied on an old idea that we had had success with in the past: using a scenario from one period for a game set in another. And in this case, using a historic scenario for a fantasy battle. So I grabbed my copy of Skirmish Campaigns' "Russia '41 – Into the Ukraine", and leafed through it. I decided on the "Supply Line" scenario, which I had run before in it's intended WWII version, (though at a higher level, where bases equaled platoons) so I knew I had all the necessary terrain. This scenario features a convoy of German trucks that needs to travel down a road and exit the table while a force of Russians is pressing in to try and destroy them.
So, for my version, I decided I would replace the German convoy of trucks with some Elven treasure wagons and refugees, fleeing some catastrophe that has happened far off table. They would be defended by Elven forces. The Goblins would take the place of the Russians, entering on the table and trying to capture the treasure and refugees. Once again, I was going to raise the level of the troops represented from the original Skirmish Campaigns scenario (which was written for individual figures), to one where each base equals several hundred men. (In "Bear Yourselves Valiantly", each base of infantry equals roughly 400-500 men, and each base of cavalry equals 200-250 mounted troops) In fact I used the OOB from the scenario only as a loose guide, and relied more on using what figures I had at hand. The map, victory conditions, and deployment I kept the same.
