 When assembling armies, players may have no more than half of the points (rounded down) of their total forces placed in a single army. There must be at least one unit in each army. After initial army placement, this army size restriction is no longer in effect. Armies should be assembled in secret and are revealed in step 4 below. Players may find it useful to assemble their armies behind a screen. When assembling armies, players may have no more than half of the points (rounded down) of their total forces placed in a single army.
