Last night, I had the finale of my campaign: a mass combat. Now, my players were not only the super-duper behind-enemy-lines team, but were also part of the mass combat (as luitenants). Their first objective was to lead their platoons to part of the enemy line, and afterwards they went on to secure certain check points. With help of the forums, I devised a sort of mini-game which the players found very fun. So I thought I'dd share it with you people.

1. Idea of the skill challenge

Each player will receives a number of platoons, and will choose a path they will follow. On this path, they encounter enemies (or obstacles), and roll skill checks to see if their platoons survive. For each platoon that survives, the players get a small (one time) bonus

2. What you need

Platoons
