I am wondering if anybody has any experiences with the Warpath rules for mass combat? Would you recommend them? Are there any pitfalls associated with these rules?

I own it but honestly have never sat down to read through and implement the Mass Combat side of their rules. What I've flipped through looks good! Units get an index card as a "character sheet" and can be moved around to simulate unit v unit engagement on the battlefield.
I will say, I've used the "Casualty Roll" in Kingmaker to determine the fate of NPCs that are in units destroyed. We also used the Casualty Rules to determine how many crew were killed/injured in engagements during Skull & Shackles. Helps to determine minimum manning and how many recruitment rolls will be required in the next port.
Sorry it's not more of a solid review. It's sitting on my shelf taunting me with the rest of my RPG books I just haven't gotten around to fully reading.
Cheers!
