[QUOTE="gizmo33, post: 2313985, member: 30001"] Yes, I agree with this. Some people interpret the "training" of certain persons in the army as if it only represented increased ability in individual combat - troops train in order to gain basic proficiency in their weapons, but also in order to follow commands, fight in formation, and move in good order in a variety of formations. Knowing what a certain drum-signal means or how to form a shield-wall without stabbing your comrade in the chin doesn't necessarily make you 2nd level IMO. However, the "core" of an "expeditionary" force would probably be high level than the normal demographic. A kingdom of 1 million persons wouldn't send a troop of 1000 1st level warriors to fight by themselves during an important battle. Celebrim's examples of tactics (eg. getting 100 4th level knights to form a unit and charge) could still be applied to a 3E game using the "official" demographics. [/QUOTE]
