Since each unit in each army costs a set number of points. In order determine a random army selection you firstly need to determine the average cost of each unit for each army, and then decide what point limit you are going to use for your battle.
You then divide the points of battle limit by the unit point average (rounding to the nearest number), which gives you a whole number - this is the number of units available to the army.
You then shuffle the army cards, and then deal the number of cards determined above. This is then your army selection for the battle.
Note: It is quite possible that after your cards have been dealt, that your army may either fall below or exceed the point limit agreed for the battle. This can be treated in either of 2 ways:
- If the cost of the army exceeds the battle limit, reduce the number of cards in the army so that the points cost no longer exceeds the points limit of the battle.
- If the cost of the army falls below the battle limit, deal another random card from the army deck so that the the points cost is no longer below the points limit of the battle.
- Leave the armies 'as is' - after all, it is very rare that an amry general can have the exact troops that he desires, or that opposing armies are evenly matched.
The average cost of each unit is as follows:
|
Men Of Hawkshold
|
Goblins*
|
Orcs & Trolls*
|
Orcs Army*
|
Undead Army
|
Elves of Ravenwood#
|
Elves of Ravenwood &
Woodland Creatures#

* - The Orc army can, if you so wish, be divided into 3 different armies, Goblins only, Orcs & Trolls only or a combined army.
# - The Elven army can, if you so wish be subdiveded into 2 different armies, and can be fielded with, or without, woodland creatures.
For example:
You wish to fight a 2000 point battle between the Men Of Hawkshold and Elves of Ravenwood
The Men Of Hawkshold force = 2000/203 = 10 cards (9.85 rounded to the nearest whole number)
The Elven force = 2000/242 = 8 cards (8.26 rounded to the nearest whole number)
The respective decks of army cards are then shuffled and dealt.
The Men of Hawkshold army consists of the following cards:
1 x Peasent Mob, 2 x Militia, 1 x Swordsmen, 1 x Pikemen, 1 x Bowmen, 1 x Great Swordsmen, 1 x Heavy Infantry, 1 x Longbowmen and 1 x Scouts for a total of 1912 Points.
The Elves of Ravenwood army consisits of the following cards:
1 x Brownies, 2 x Ravenwood Swordsmen, 1 x Ravenwood Spearmen, 1 x Wolfkin, 2 x Bearkin and 1 x Centaurs for a total of 1770 points.
