[QUOTE="Werehamster, post: 8524274, member: 7034644"] In my world, it's been 250 years the last big war between the Orc armies and the humanoid nation they attacked. There is rumbling that the Orc armies are re-gaining confidence and small skirmishes have been breaking out on the borderlands between the two territories. There is a definite possibility that there will be large-scale battles with armies involved. I've been trying to wrap my head around how to run a game where the party is involved on the battlefield with hundreds of Orcs and Humanoids are running around all over the place and how to determine the ebb and flow of the battle. How many soldiers/orcs die each round? How to decide if the party is directly targeted? When is morale for each army decided to see if they retreat/surrender? Have any of you done this type of scenario, and if so, how did you run it? Also, what worked and what would you do differently if you did it again? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
