Advice for running a War of the Beard campaign from there site.

This scenario is a pitched battle to the finish. All you have to do is line up the High Elf army on one side and the Dwarf army on the other and go at
 it. Here are
some tips we've learned that make mega-battles go smoothly and keeps them a lot of fun!


Make sure each player has a couple units to control. Give command of the General of each side to the most enthusiastic and loudest player (conversely
you can
give it to the person who never gets to do anything and let them have the spotlight for a day).

Put a time limit on each side. Give players 5 minutes to move their troops, 5 minutes to work out magic, 5 minutes to work out shooting, and 10
minutes to work out
combat.

Have the players who regularly play Dwarfs and High Elves write up some warcrys and slogans that should be bellowed during the game.

Have fun with it. Don't argue about rules, or anything else for that matter (unless it is a debate to see if High Elves wear skirts all the time).
Keep the game going, roll
off any rules disputes on the spot. To facilitate this you should nominate one neutral person to run the battle, yelling out how much time players
have to execute
actions, resolve combats, and finish talking their strategy.
