In almost all of the 7YW & AWI games, 1 figure equals 50 men for large
battles and in the rulesets with skirmish supplements, 1 figure usually
represents 5 men. In DBM, ancients vary by period and army. A stand of
spearmen in one army may equal 100 men while a stand with the same
number of figures in another army may represent 500.
