Actually, I have created my own mass battle system a few years ago, but I shelved
it.  I was going to tweak it for the DR world and see how that works.  But I
wanted to see if anyone has beaten me to the punch.

In response to jackray2, I know that DragonRaid is NOT a wargame.  However, there
have been several incidents of mass combat in the Old Testament and also in
history.  To completely ignore this aspect of fantasy gaming is up to the person
who is running DragonRaid.  I have my reasons why I want to include this into my
games.  Will there be a lesson involved with this?  Yes.  All of my personal DR
adventures have a scriptural (and moral) lesson.

Again, I ask if anyone knows of these rules existing, please let me know.  Thanks!
