Iron League Campaign: Troop Strengths

Continuing on from my previous post about a hypothetical Iron League campaign that would have parallel D&D adventurers and large-scale warfare, I've collated the various accounts from those Dragon magazine articles and come up with the following troop type totals. These are the overall totals for each major participant; in the articles there is a lot of talk of forces being split, dwarves sent to reinforce other armies, etc. I've gone ahead and combined all of the troops mentioned for each side, so all the forces of the dwur-king of the Iron Hills are listed under his banner, whether they were sent to reinforce Idee in CY 578...

The forces of the Great Kingdom:

	South Province	Medegia	TOTAL
Heavy cavalry	3,000	1,500	4,500
Medium cavalry	3,000	-	3,000
Light cavalry	5,000	2,300	7,300
Light cavalry (mercenary)	-	500	500
Regular infantry	3,000	1,900	4,900
Regular infantry (mercenaries)	6,000	3,300	9,300
Levies	15,000	3,700	18,700
Humanoids	5,000	6,200	11,200
TOTAL	40,000	19,400	59,400

And the forces of the Iron League:
