[QUOTE="CRG, post: 281240, member: 5867"] Well one thing is obvious - there are alot more of the legions than there are the mountain-forces. And the legions are all alive and therefor need to eat. Again, I fall back on poison, plague, supply issues. My general plan would be (1) Find ways to deal with commandos (2) Find ways to delay the bulk of their army (3) Find ways to bleed their army dry Undead, outsiders, summoned creatures, etc. None of these things require much food or support. I'd exploit that to the best of my capabilities. For the commandos, I like the mirror of opposition idea. Another idea which is extremely cheesy is the .... wait for it .... monster generator. I know, I know, Gauntlet-esque. Sure! Why the heck not? Start spewing forth summoned creatures when someone gets near. Maybe on a timed delay. Maybe stealthily planted in the Legion's camps. If they monster generators were powerful enough, you could use them to fight the uber-commandos. If your PCs are uber-commandos, you could make a session or two out of it which they might enjoy - sure, they'd be playing a Gauntlet-clone but it would be fun. Everyone would be running around saying "Arg" "Wizard needs food...badly" and "Elf now has reflecting shots!". It would be a blast. While the PCs are on that adventure, work out how much damage similar things do to the legions. Maybe base it on how well the PCs do, maybe not. [/QUOTE]
