Then you add your leadership ability, or even your relationship to the warband. I like the potential of this system, though I have yet to have the opportunity to test this out in a game. :-)

I think that's why the rules cut down on the final APs if you are vastly inflating them means that you just bid big. I'm not sure why you say that the number of people have a small effect on TN. for a regiment of 1000 the bonus is +25. If you don't inflate the APs you get regiments in the W4 range and thus should not overshoot too much and not bias the play towards always destroying the army you are facing. Most commanders unless mad or stupid would get out of the fight as soon as they realised they were outclassed.
