[War] Statting up WAR

[pentaj2 at Scranton.edu]

I'm split. On the one hand...As my GF (who lurks and is quite welcome 
to throw in her commentary...) can attest, I can beat details to a 
pulp. And yes, WAR occasionally needs more concreteness.

However, WAR is about writing. About the story. It's been a struggle 
to pull WAR from "blow up the woooorrrlllld!" to this last iteration, 
where we actually had character development.

While as a GM I would appreciate rules of thumb we can all agree on 
and use, my first instinct is to go for better writing.

Otherwise, if the playerbase will allow it, I'm perfectly happy going 
with whatever feels like it'll work.

The one time I scream and need numbers is in troop movement. There -
nobody- seems happy.
