In my next game my players are going up against an army. Though they will direct one or two people they will themselves be up in the melee fighting.
Does anyone know a quick way to run a combat between a PC and a mess of NPCs? I plan on a few one on one conflicts but I'd like for my players to have to face a group of 40 men and be challenged even though they are 12th level and should ignore fighters of 3rd level...
