This kind of topic has probably come up before, but I was just wondering
what you guys thought a BR war card unit is comprised of. That is, how
many creatures, what AC, hits, melee rating, etc.

Normal units, of course, are 200 creatures, but there are certain war
cards that are exceptional. The Magian's riders, for instance, are only
a few high level creatures.

I'm thinking that a unit is really comprised of between 200 and 400 HD
of creatures. Twenty hill giants, for instance, could be a war card
unit. The HD of mounts should count as about 1/2 for the purposes of
determining a unit, so the horses of cavalry and knights still fits in
this formula.

As for determining hits, melee values, etc. I have no idea.... If there
was a formula, however, it would make for an easier method of
translating units into standard AD&D terms and vice versa making the
presence of exceptional creatures/characters on the battlefield much
easier to work into the process. Ideas?
