This is one of the craziest, most ambitious projects I have seen for this game. Can't wait to see what the entire thing looks like.

Here are the Kimmeri-Kelt crosses:

Once again we have a race that's in the "common" range, so a lot of the offspring are "common" men as well.

Right, because we're essentially adding a third race to an already bi-ethnic race. See, you are embracing tri-ethnicity! ;)

I would consider the following assumptions to be true:

#1. The army, if it is to remain whole, can only move as fast as its slowest unit types. So, if there are heavy infantry on foot, per our wilderness movement rules (Player's Manual, p. 257), heavily armoured types can achieve about 12 miles per day. 
#2. Also on p. 257, I would take into account the terrain type being crossed. 

The information in that section of the book (starting on p. 256) should contain everything you need, including for the mobilization of larger forces.

I'm amazed I'm the only one to back a black hat so far. Knowing gamers and their taste in clothes, I thought that would be the only color anyone backed.

As far as I can tell, black is #3 after loden green and one of the khaki hats. I thought it would be #1, too!

I'd say draw your own, but you do what's best for your game!

Kimmerian, Kimmeri-Kelt, Lapp, Lemurian, Moor, Mu, Pict, Pict (Half-Blood), Roman, Tlingit, and Viking. Since I'm reusing relevant ones from previous races (i.e., Moor-Amazon is the same as Amazon-Moor), each successive race has one fewer new cross to create than the one before. So Vikings will only have one new cross (Viking-Yakut) and Yakuts will be 100% reused previous crosses.

Anyway, I'll get it done.

And then you can move onto tri-ethnic waifs! ;)
 

I think those all just yield "common" men. Or that's my story anyway.

Gregor Mendel disagrees.

The magical (super science?) properties of the room should react with the grenade and blow open a gaping hole to the Black Gulf!

Leave it to BA23. LOL

I would give it an item saving throw in which it requires only, say, a 3 or higher to succeed. If it does fail, I would then say that a portion or half of it is scorched, leaving a tantalizing amount remaining.

I can't give you specifics yet, but it is the primary focus for development right now. I appreciate your enthusiasm!
