Campaign Mass Combat

As we reach the tail end of the campaign, factions rise up to wage all out war which may culminate in epic massive battles.   To resolve this easily on the table top, we will be using the UA mass combat rules.   Read here.

Here are some house rules or modifications which we will be doing to the Mass Combat rules.



Charging
For units charging into melee combat.  They receive a +10 Bonus to their BR for the turn which they charge.  

Unit Special Rules.
Some units have special rules that change the way they fight.  See attached list.

Overwhelming Odds
In addition to the Mass Combat rules for having additional combatants nearby.  If more than one unit is attacking the same target.   It also grants bonus to overwhelm the target unit.

• More than 1 unit attacking the same target,  +5 to BR
• More than 2 unit attacking the same target,  +10 to BR
• More than 3 unit attacking the same target,  +15 to BR

Positioning
For every unit, there is a front, side and rear.   The positioning of the attacking units plays a huge role in determining the outcome of the battle. 

• Attacking from the flank, +5 BR
• Attacking from the rear,  +10 BR

Example, see below picture.

The Orc Brute unit is completely surrounded on all sides.
Since there are more than 3 Elven Units attacking the Orc Brutes.  Each Elven unit that makes the attack adds +15 to their BR and roll with advantage as per Mass Combat rules.

We shall treat the Orc Brutes front to be facing the Spearman, and the flanks to be the Elf Skirmisher and Elf Ranger and the Orc Brute's rear is attacked by Elf Cavalry.

Therefore, Elf Spearman unit gains +15 BR to their attack roll.
Elf Skirmisher & Elf Ranger units, gain +20 BR to their attack roll.
While Elf Cavalry gains +25 BR to their attack roll.
