The last time I ran a huge combat I had to throw 5 guys for every party
member.  Because each member would draw five cards and then procede to kill
a large number of baddies.  Any less and somebody would be left sitting on
the front porch gun drawn with nobody left to kill because the shaman
already beheaded them all.

Of course right now i'm lucky to get more than 3 people.  my fourth just
finished getting over lukemia and hasn't been around for about two months. 
Thankfully he's fully recovered and will be with is next saturday.

Long combat...bah!  Be grateful you have so many players.
