Donald,

Thanks; I'd read the Wiki site and liked the way it put numbers against troop types, and plotted strengths throughout the siege. I personally quite like to see individual units named in battles because I think it can add colour (I really appreciated the descriptions of Lunar Regiments on Issaries, for example, which made the army feel more real to me), but I can appreciate the benefit to narrators of leaving gaps.

I'll lurk and dive in when topics closest to my interests crop up (I'm rather more into Gloranthan wargaming than roleplaying). I could also post some pictures of my miniatures depictions of Lunar units, if relevant.
