Bobrp. mass and starship Combat rules(powered by Bushido 2nd ed)

[mao]

First big props: Bushido is a truly amazing game. I remember fighting with another DM over who had to run and who got to play, I usually lost but had my share of playing too.
It is a fantastic version of fantasy Japan. The Ninjas were gimmick based instead of supernaturally powered. 2 kinds of casters. but only 6 levels for advancement. I never took to 3rd ed, I liked the purity of 2nd ed. Any way enuf gushing.

  It has an amazing rules for mass combat, the best I ever read.So simple...

So Bob and Paul, this is for you.

The Basic Mechanic

Assign values for both sides.The high number should be around 10-13. the low number should not be less than say 7-9.  Each side rolls 1d6. These numbers are added to the assigned numbers and the difference is subtracted from the loser. Repeat. Elegant , isn't it.below is some specifics on adding to this, but this is all you need.

Options

Since this is part of Bobrp, we are still keeping it lite, but here is a few ideas, you probably will want to use somewhere between 3-5 optionss , but hey it's your game so go wild
We are building this in steps so we are going to have both side are able to use these options.

Banzai charge +2 to roll, automatic 2 damage to your side
muster magic +2 to roll, only useable once per roll
Strong Defense +2 to roll but -2 to damage
Standard no modifier
etc.
