Well, actually the same problem extends to other RPGs as well, but generally speaking I don't like it when a single round (whether that means 3, 6, 10, 12 or some other amount of time in seconds is hardly relevant) takes anywhere from 10 - 20 minutes IRL. The worst I have gamed through were 3 second rounds in Werewolf: the Apocalypse that took about half an hour per round. Well, the combat was usually resolved by round three, but that's 1 1/2 hours of gaming with potentially half of the group just sitting around and yawning while the Rage Machines do their thing. I tend to keep combatants below twenty, and simply use tougher opponents instead of numbers, when necessary. Using a hoard of opponents is fine with me, but there are only so many of them that can be engaged with the party at any one time. So, a large battle can actually become the stage for as many as half a dozen encounters, or more, and that's something that wears a party down quite nicely <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.</blockquote>
