In D&D you might use their charisma modifiers while in Vampire: The Masquerade you might simply use their leadership score. Give each general an arbitrary leadership score based on your game system and gut feeling. The generals could be a council of wizards on one side versus a single war veteran on the other and let’s say they each have an army size of 100,000. Your first step is to write down the two “generals” and their army size. So here’s a quick way to run mass combat between armies that are system agnostic. Some game systems (like Legend of the Five Rings or D&D) have books and chapters dedicated to running large combats, but it is easy to get lost in the mechanics. This works very well if the outcome of the battle is already predetermined, or you have multiple tables that can each hit some major objectives. Typically, storytellers will simply make the rest of the battle a cinematic backdrop and let the players do small scale or goal-orientated missions on the field. Long term spell effects or other crazy class features that can be used endlessly spark fun conversations, but make running mass battles hard. Most game systems are designed around 3-to-6 second combat round and this mechanically falls apart once you get into big armies. It certainly makes for ran an epic backdrop to highlight the player’s actions, but once the characters get involved as generals it often falls apart. Two (or more) armies waging a lethal battle with all the magic at their disposal. Mass combat has always been a tantalizing idea for storytellers, but difficult in execution. The GM Quick Tips are single hacks discovered in the minds of storytellers everywhere.
