I am planning an adventure where my players are reclaiming a town from the clutches of Deep Ones. This is heavily inspired by the Raid on Innsmouth scenario from Chaosium's excellent Escape from Innsmouth supplement. I could use some help with a good system for running 5e combats involving at most 600 people on a side and more likely about a quarter that. I looked at the UA mass combat rules and am wondering if the system is satisfactory for combatants ranging from CR 1/8-CR 3, with the majority at CR 1/8. I feel like CR 1/8 fighters are just about useless even though that would make the bulk of most ancient armies.
Long story short, I am wondering if there is a suitable system for resolving this kind of combat.
