Sounds good, my only possible problem with this is that Nations like me, Omnia, and Klatch might have enough trained troops to just squash all the other nations out of hand... Is there a convenient way to bypass this problem?

There's also the fact that many of the factions have unconventional counters for vast armies.
" Oh, you're attacking Uberwald with Klatch's vast army, are you?
Well, your supply lines keep coming under attack by hairy bastards who refuse to die, your high command was assainated last night in the locked room at the top of your tower(but it had a balcony
), and Your armies base camp just fell into a big hole in the ground."

Does Lancre include the Wee Free Men, or do they come as a seperate faction?
I have no clue what a STGOD is but I claim dibs on Susan Sto Helit just on general principles.
Do Binky, the Death Of Rats, the Raven and Albert come with the package or do I need to claim them seperately?
