So I got the books and some friends are showing intrest but Ill probably need to get 2 armies so they can test the game before they are sold on it.
800 points is a bit to much investment (money and painting, mostly painting) so I wonder if people have any idea of suitable size to get a fair test of the game. Me and my friends are expereinced gamers so we dont really need anything small for other reasons then time.
Also, do any armies work extra good/bad for test games. Im thinking about a celtic and a roman army (15mm) for my test games.
How small/big

Re: How small/big
The starter armies are a perfectly good place to start. Play them on a 5 by 3 table (assuming 15mm) and you will get good competitive games. There are a goodly number of manufacturers producing FoG starter army packs now.dunkelbrink wrote:So I got the books and some friends are showing intrest but Ill probably need to get 2 armies so they can test the game before they are sold on it.

Celtic and Roman is a matchup that proably favours the Romans if inexperienced players are running the armies. The Celts need work to have much of a chance. I would suggest Roman and Carthaginian as that gives each side advantages and also has the spear vs sword matchup.
