Out of all the HW games I played, I think the only General I had that
added 3 xtra troops, fit what you suggest.  It's such an obscure occurence
as to not even worry about.  In battles, concentrate on matching ex-skill
level and above leaders to troops, particularly if you're in a set piece.
Use your wiz's as much as possible in this case too.  Sometimes it's the
difference between victory or defeat.
