But I figure an adequate turnout would be 6 or 8 people who have
a couple of hours to kill blowing stuff up. Myself, MH and eph
are already interested.
I've had a few cracks at it, on normal and heroic difficulties with 2 to 4 players... definitely not enough. Still, with 4 people who knew reasonably what they were doing, we managed to drag out a game on heroic for approximately 90 minutes.
6 to 8 definitely seems ideal... here's a breakdown that I think would work allright, with lucky 7:
2 players control half of the archers each, taking half of the special bows each.
2 players split the dwarves and warlocks, one getting the pyromancer and the other getting the electromancer. Probably give the mortar dwarf to the guy with the electromancer.
2 players split the normal heron guards, roving around, covering where needed, grabbing as many roots as possible.
1 player controls Mazz and the heron hero, making sure that they are constantly being utilized to their fullest. I find that when I'm controlling these guys in addition to a bunch of other units that I'm using them nowhere near as much as I should, and frequently forgetting where they are.
Wednesday night might not work for me (and very likely not for MH) due to the presence of soccer activities. Still, we shall see.

Well if Mazz is at 9 Eastern (7 our time) we should be good, since the soccer goes from 4pm until 5 or 6.
Of course I think I hurt a rib in last night's game so hopefully I am still good to go for Wednesday (and our league game tomorrow).
