Are you guys planning to be in on Monday? I would like to discuss campaigns/maps/campaign maps if you have a few minutes before or after the session. I don't have a problem making up our own house rules but I would like to see a commensurate restriction on numbers. There's plenty of Byzantine complexity in this game already. I'd like rules for mirror towers and flying transport ships for my archers, if we're going in this direction. But then again, I still feel like I'm getting used to the basic rules.

Yes. Playing Erin Rampant.
I think we should probably stick to the playtested rules mostly...

Agreed. I assume Erin rampant is Lion Rampant in Ireland?
"Red bull of Ulster Rampant" doesn't work quite as well, does it?

We tried Erin and the h2h rules are bonkers fiddly and if you get them wrong it's just not a very good game. (Apparently the 2nd edition is better, but still has almost no players).
However 2 of the forces (The Sidhe by Bob Olley and the Formorians) are great characterful figures and too spiffy to waste (I did in fact buy the starter pack for the figures.) So I ported the armies to Dragon Rampant.
There's a third force (disappointingly boring Celts) as well, if you're interested in a 3-way punch-up. I do need to get some more Celts, but I can't be arsed at the moment because my painting queue is huge and BF have just said my Soviets have shipped...

Modular map or something bespoke ,

So what forces do we have?
I've got;
2000pt of ratmen with another 1000pt nearly done. 1000pt of men-at-arms alliance 1200pt of men-at-arms Anglo-French alliance. 2000pt of men-at-arms Lannisters 1500pt of undead, another 500 on the way 1000pt of barbarians, another 1000pt currently underway.
i've got the figures for 2000pt of orcs, but some need stripping and then they need painting. And there's 230 of them... I've got ~600 of the 1000pt of dwarves done. And the figures for 2000pt of wood elves.
(I might stop buying quite so much stuff actually. I worked out that I've *painted* about 400 figures this year and I know I bought way more than that.)
