+===== TROLLS AND GIANTS =====
+These creatures do not form armies but are instead
+encountered as units within other races armies. The
+main restrictions on the weapons they can be armed
+with are listed on their profile sheets and the weapon
+cost tables. An additional restriction, is the fact that
+all C class trolls are always armed with improvised
+weapons or rocks, while B class trolls should always
+be 50% armed with mixed weapons.
+===== MIXED ARMIES =====
+Sometimes players may wish to field armies
+featuring two or more races. The basic mix of
+weapons within such armies can be defi ned in one of
+two ways:
+  - The dominant race's percentages apply. Thus a two hundred figure high elf army using wood elf allied archers would only be allowed up to 50 such archers not the 60 that would be allowed in a similar sized wood elf army.
+  - Players simply combine two armies, with each one subject to its own restrictions.
+===== ALLIES AND MERCENARIES =====
+Allied troops can never form more than 45% of an
+army (thus a wood elf army of two hundred figures
+may also field up to 90 high elves.) Mercenary troops
+can never form more than 23 % of an army, except in
+the case of human armies where they may form up to
+% of an army. The relationship between the races
+and nations of Vortimax is defined in the
+background information.
