Setting The Field
Texto
Battlefields are handled abstractly in the rules for mass battles. Ranges are not tracked concretely, and a cohort is expected to be able to reach any location on the battlefield to perform its action there in the span of a round.
This does not mean that terrain, including fortresses and other structures, has no role to play in the battle. These features should be something that the PCs can use against their foes—and vice versa! At the outset of a battle, the GM should define several terrain features relevant to the combat to the PCs, describing their relative locations and distances to help set the scene.
