Do you have a link to those modified Chainmail rules you're using? I've always wanted to do a mercenary troop campaign, sort of like The Black Company or Barbara Hambly's Sun Wolf books.

Most of my games, no matter what the system seem to turn into mercenary style campaigns!!

I have a really simplified mass combat system called killchain on my itch -

The simplified chainmail is just the tables in actual chainmail used for melee:

What X in D6 does one troop type need to kill the other?

Just use the old tables after determining what troop type they will attack and defend as.

This way for Big retainer engagements of like 8 to 12 on 12, you can just throw a handful of six sided dice for each side

You never cease to impress and inspire. This is the kind of campaign that really grabs me. Must be my upbringing on the pulps and s&s. Wonderful update.

Awesome stuff as always! How does the corruption table system for the MU work?

Right now it’s a d6 table that starts at l3 and will get rolled on once per level. Prob make it a 2d6 so there’s a curve of rarer and more common aberrations
