Question for SHARK or other Mass combat DM's

[The_lone_gunman]

My Campaign is eventually going to hit a point where there will be some mass combat (about 40K orcs versus a smaller, well equiped party of humans/dwarves/elves/ etc.) I am trying to devise some good mass combat rules that keep the D&D "flavor" but make it easier to manage. I know SHARK's campaign has mass combat like this, and was wondering what rules you use. Also, anyone else how has or has devised mass combat rules for their campaign and would be willing to share, pls let me know. If I come up with something different I will post them here for folks to check out and critique, but I would prefer to just "borrow" from someone who already did all the work .

There's one quite correct in The Quintessential Fighter, by Mongoose Publishing. It is also, in a "light version", in the same publisher's Seas of Blood.

Malhavoc Press will publish somewhere in the future a book entitled Cry Havoc! (and not Cry, Malhavoc, Cry as the first report incorrectedly said) that will feature mass combat rules by Skip Williams.
