One of your best yet. It is a credit to MidGuard you can game such big battles quite easily and quickly.

Great report; how many points would this game be under Midgard?

Korsun0: with the missing units the armies came in at 392 points each IIRC?

I guess at conventions have played games with equal points, actually Mark has said as much in his Wars of Ozz games. Yet battles are rarely fought with equal forces. Doesn't bother me if on a side that is at a disadvantage.
