As we discussed in other posts, why write rules and play a game you don't want to play? Write the rules and play the kind of game you love. In my opinion, 6 to 12 units per side is the perfect battle size. Enough figures and units for fun, but not so many you get weary too soon (or take forever assembling and painting your force(s). I am looking forward to the definitive edition of HoT. Great looking battle and a lot of fun to boot!
