	t_catt11 Fun is Mandatory RDI Staff Karma: 378/54 7133 Posts	well I have not, but once upon a time, I had some rules for it. I wonder what I did with them? Posted on 2014-04-17 at 21:49:41.
	Shield Wolf Alpha Beard Karma: 49/2 1066 Posts	hmm Pretty sure the 3.5 supplement Heroes of Battle covers that and I want to say I've seen rules for encounters like this elsewhere too. Posted on 2014-04-18 at 01:10:16.
	Ayrn RDI Fixture Karma: 122/12 2025 Posts	Define Mass Combat... Are you talking about players controlling a whole "unit" of troops rather than individual characters? Posted on 2014-04-18 at 02:04:05.
	Padre J Roulston Resident Karma: 16/1 428 Posts	... Yeah... rather than just play a character, that they have units of varying sizes.... Any mass battle I've run we pull out the old battle system stuff, and mini's and run a big battle... I didn't know how it would work for PBP. Posted on 2014-04-18 at 02:09:50.

	Padre J Roulston Resident Karma: 16/1 428 Posts	... It looks like the 5ed version of the original battlesystem But it will be nice to see a d20 version of the rules. Posted on 2014-04-30 at 17:25:01.
	SirSadaar RDI Fixture Karma: 11/0 656 Posts	... The Star Wars saga edition has a fairly streamlined system. Basically, you multiply the HP by four; keep initiative, perception, and defences the same; add 50 to the damage threshold; reduce the speed to 1 if the base character has a speed < / = 11, to 2 if the speed is between 12-15, and 3 if it is > / = 16; gain an attrition feature; gain DR 15; keep the same attack score; have a x2 damage multiplier; have all weapon attacks converted to area attacks; take half damage from all non area attacks; and keep feats, skills, and talents from the base character in it. It also has very specialized rolls for PC's within the units, but I usually just have PC's fill all the rolls to keep things moving well. Posted on 2014-04-30 at 20:32:45.
