- | ===== Overview ===== | ||
- | |||
- | The Mass Combat Rules are different to those used in most fantasy RPGs. Rather than being an attempt to use a simplified War Game, I have decided to continue with the heroic themes normally found in RPGs.

- | Every defence point in the Campaign System represents a building that houses | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Army Size ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Each defence point contributes a single CR8 unit as active troops. | ||
- | |||
- | If each unit is a CR8 encounter, calculating the overall CR of the army is fairly straightforward using the Encounter Scaling guidelines on [[https:// | ||
- | |||
- | There can only be one army per side. If two or three armies come together to take on a common enemy, | ||
