Taken from 
:
White Dwarf 340, the April anniversary one contains rules for fighting HUGE games of fantasy. There's a nice little ally chart that shows who likes who and is recommended for games of at least 10k points. That's per side there, they suggest using multiple players on both sides.
For every full 5k per army you can take a special formation type affair. basically this lets you count any number of a special or rare choice as 1 thing. as in by using 1 slot on the force org you could take 24 cannons. Or Steam tanks. Or Giants. etc etc
Then for every 100 points of difference between the 2 oppossing armies the side with the lesser total gets "desperation counters", which are like fate points. You burn them to either reroll dice, ignore a break test, rally a unit etc etc. Once they're gone they are gone.
Sounds alright I guess, some nice fluff in there too about massive battles-- 1 tale of an ogre army killed by the largest number of cannons ever fielded in one place (in the warhammer world anyway), but it strikes me as if this will have less legs than Apocalypse perhaps. Just don't think fantasy scales up that well, but it would be fun to try one time."
Anyone need to reinforce their armies then?
