Default Re: [Mass Combat] Mass Combat in Action

I actually house-ruled that the commander's Risk Modifier doesn't apply to Strategy rolls, because I think it's importance in the standard rules is too much. It has more influence that most strategy modifiers. I just let the force commander try for significant actions like anyone else.

I do let NPCs try for significant actions. Every enemy force has at least a named force commander, and often a subordinate commander or two. I think the most they've faced at one time was four named NPCs on the other side.

The current version of my spreadsheet actually has multiple commands on it, some garrisons and some field forces. As it's currently configured, Trahaern's force is a mobile force, Skyler's and Aisling's forces are mobile forces that doesn't have any troops in them, and the Garrison Force and Training force are encamped. The Orc Cmpy and Orc Elite tabs are sample orc forces, and can be mobile or encamped forces depending on the circumstances.
