A 10x15 camping tent is rated about 10 persons. Wall tents are probably a better comparison wherein a tent that size is rated for at least 5 people, when they are doing a significant amount of activity indoors. Bunks of course would nearly double that number.At the very conservative 5/barracks that would still be over 150 Hobgoblins. Given the description and the map, there would be more Goblins and Bugbears combined than Hobs. So 300 goblinoids minimum, same as Cohort or Battalion.200'X200' is about 1 acre, Roman Legions (10 Cohorts or more) are known to have built encampments on less than 10 acres.So, I don't know how much this stuff was actually thought through as opposed to just making a cool map to fit on the table, but it works surprisingly well.</blockquote>
