I'm just thinking of ways to level the odds.
As it is, your side has a massive advantage, and I want to see there be a more even fight.
In the future at least.
It would be easy for me to lose, but it would be hard for you to lose, and that is due to GM'ing and army translations. And I think a faction like this would be very possible.
