[QUOTE="lawful_stupid, post: 6106889, member: 82728"] Can anyone recommend a massed combat system that will integrate into 4E combat? I would like rules for PC's spending actions and using skills to command platoon and company sized groups of soldiers. Ideally the rules will be free and relatively simple while providing enough detail to make interesting and meaningful choices. However, I would be willing to spend money on something really worthwhile. Also, some system for PC vs army combat would be great. My players have spent several thousand gold pieces arming and training two companies of soldiers (about 300 individuals) for starting a rebellion against their king. I want to be able to offer them some encounters that bridge 4E D&D and tabletop wargaming without overloading them with pages and pages of rules. I have thought about using the swarm rules to create Huge monsters representing platoons. Multiple Huge swarms (maybe 5 wide and 2 deep) would make an impressive side of a battle. However, 2 of these armies would make for 20 monsters which seems like it would turn into a slog. Thanks [/QUOTE]
