It's great to hear that a "mass combat" product is being developed.

I just wanted to point to two resources in case they may be overlooked.

This is a relevant but short thread discussed back in September of last year: Suggestions for Mass Combat...?

In addition, David Pulver wrote rules for Mass Combat in GURPS in 2010. At 50 pages, a TFT version would only want to borrow so much, but it could still be mined for ideas. Unfortunately I never got into it enough to comment, but David is actively supporting TFT.

Yes indeed, it should do. In fact, the two scenarios I've included so far as learning exercises only use a few counters on both sides. Naturally those are going to be very short battles, but you'll be able to see how it works with small groups as well as armies.

The first scenario is actually called "Skirmish at the Bridge". ^_^

The rulebooks should be going out tonight if all goes to plan. Thanks again for all the support and interest!

Round 2 of the rules are starting playtest. Tons of great feedback from Round 1 and there have been significant changes. Anyone interested in coming on for the new round, PM me here with your email address and Discord handle. Thanks!

I will attempt to print the new counter set and try the revised game this weekend.

Third edition of Battle is out to playtesters. This is likely the last major revision of the rules, so it's sink-or-swim time for this expansion.

Is anything new happening with this?

I’m very interested.

Late to this thread, but was wondering if there were any concepts from Lords of Underearth that would be appropriate as that with its never published sequel, Conquerors of Underearth was a TFT compatible mass combat system.
