Truly savage worlds often feature wars with massive and bloody battles. The system below rewards players who not only take part in these battles, but are instrumental in gathering political support, recruiting troops, and deciding strategies that win them.

These rules allow the Game Master to handle everything from a small warband holding a fort against an undead horde to full divisions of troops fighting a massive field battle or a planetary assault from a space-based invasion fleet. It’s abstract, but provides a narrative base for heroes to plan, get involved, and even become involved in the fight themselves.
