Agreed... altough he may have a point about the Iron Alliance - that 
could definitely put together a good combination of smaller groups.

I think small-medium size would be best.  If people want to scale up to

My friend has the High Noon rules.  If there's enough progress on this 
fan project, I'll definitely pick up a copy of GRW.

Oh yah, I checked out one of the sites Teller mentioned:
