Oh no, its proper structured armies. X number of heroes, Y minimum core choices etc. Though I seem to recall it was something like "no more than 25% of your army can be spent on characters" in the earlier days. The 6000 point army above (for example) is limited to 5 Lords, 7 Heroes; has a minimum of 7 Core units and a maximum of 6 special and 5 rare (if I recall from last night).

Lunch we'd eat whilst playing, turns are no way as long as you might be imagine. Move a few troops, roll a few dice. Game lengths are not significantly greater than smaller games.

I've played my fair share of 2000/3000 point games, not only have I found tactics to be almost redundant, but I find the whole idea of the game silly. When armies go on the march, they have troops, not 3 units!

I guess each to their own, but I've always been a fan of more epic conflicts (which is a shame that the 15mm didn't take off, though the rules were awful). I'll be honest, even 10,000 point games don't feel like a ful size army (though certainly much more so), I've fought in LRP battles with 2000 players per side and that has come close to a battle, but even then its not the scale of most historial battles...
