Biggest battle? about 50 on a side.

Oh, wait, you mean in a game? I've run upwards of 40 ships on a side in WEG Star Wars, and 10 on a side in FFG SW. Groundside, up to about 300 - two companies, one per side, in WEG, and similar in FFG.
I've run battles with 10,000+ in Pendragon
1000 or so (Bn vs Bn) in MegaTraveller.
I've also had battles of up to about 150 demons vs 50 elite troops lead by PCs using the 5E D&D preview mass combat rules.
In WFRP 1E, I used about 1000 skaven and the PC's forces numbered about 70. It went poorly for the skaven.
