Armies of Exigo will be an unusual fantasy-themed game that lets you play as one of three factions--the humans, the beasts, and the evil fallen--to battle for control of a fantasy world.
Armies of Exigo will feature massive battles between colorful armies of various fantasy races.
We understand that Armies of Exigo's three factions are intended to be asymmetrical (that is, not just all the same units with slightly different names) and that the game is being developed, at least in part, for hardcore strategy fans who have been playing games like this for years.

The new mobility enabled tacticians to consider artillery as a supporting arm whose function was firing at enemy personnel instead of engaging in artillery duels.

 Risk...The World Conquest Game
You may continue attacking one territory until you have eliminated all armies on it, or you may shift your attack from one territory to another, attacking each as often as you like and attacking as many territories as you like during one turn.
To do so, move in at least as many armies as the number of dice you rolled in your last battle.remember: in most cases, moving as many armies as you can to the front is an advantage, because armies left behiind can't help you when you are attacking.
Instead of pushing your largest army up to a border with another large army, attack to reduce the size of the army to a single (or massively outnumbered) battalion, and leave your enemy with one of his own troops between his biggest army and yours.

 THE NEW MERCENARIES -- CORPORATE ARMIES FOR HIRE
In response to reports of the slaughter of thousands of refugees, a United States-led multi-national force deployed into the region in order to stabilize the area and facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid.
This force discovers that the Zairian Army was little more than armed thugs engaging in looting and pillaging.
Because these security firms are cost-effective, are able to respond rapidly and are not encumbered with the international political considerations that stymie international peacekeeping operations, it is probable that this emergence of private armies will continue to grow.

The rate at which men volunteered increased, partly at least due to news from the front that the British regulars were in action and in retreat.

With the transfer, First Army replaced Second Army and assumed nearly three times the number of reserve-component units it was previously responsible for, according to Col. Michael Parker, First Army's deputy chief of staff for training.
Today, First Army not only assists in and evaluates the training and readiness of units within its former jurisdiction -- 19 Northeastern and Midwestern states and Washington, D.C. -- but of those that were formerly under Second Army's jurisdiction; eight Southeastern states, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, said First Army spokeswoman Oona Powell.
The move to Fort Meade in 1966 took the headquarters of the elite First Army to an installation that dates to 1917 when it was one of 16 cantonments built for troops drafted for World War I. During that era more than 100,000 men passed through it.

Personally, I'm really interested to see how the new Tyranids will fare against the new Marines; a clash between the first two armies to be updated will really display whether or not the new rules are still relatively balanced or not.

I think that the list of "official" armies should be short, which means that eventually new armies will need to bump older ones off the list.
In addition, armies that are on the list should be well-tested.
By definition, a newly-devised army can't be well-tested, and so I have created this section to hold the armies that are either on probation or have been demoted.
