One - The PCs were battling a similarly powered set of leader NPCs in some sort of cool encounter set upTwo - The PCs had an army and the NPC had an army, and there was a front line, a backline, and then a middle rank - I think. Frankly, I skipped that part because tbh game rules put me to sleep and so I only read if my players are going to engage with them next session. I'll learn better by doing i always say. But suffice to say, the army on army combat was abstracted pretty significantly. One neat thing is that each part of the war ends simultaneously - so the army v army outcome does not directly impact the PC/NPC theatre of the war. IIRC, there's a pseudo results table where If PCs party and army both win, then A; if PCs party wins but army loses, then B; if PCs party loses by army wins, then C; and finally if both party and army lose, then D.The battle part is somewhat complex, but I could see it working. The Kingdom stuff in the first half of the book gives some ways for the party to influence neighboring polities to try to get help in a looming conflict. And then those units if committed by said polities could help when everything escalates up into war.You'd really need to build your entire campaign around this though, I think...</blockquote>
