Older episode, was not seeing a thread for it though...
In response to a DM help thread, I was reading through the 3.5 supplement "Heroes of Battle" (which is AWESOME for any wartime or battlefield campaign, regardless of edition or even RPG) and it has a section outlining how to detail an entire army in just an hour. I was thinking that some random tables could quickly add some flavor to "just another platoon" on a massive battlefield
1d6 - what type of platoon is it?
1 - Green (roll with disadvantage or at -2 in combat until they, as a unit, get a few kills)
2, 3, 4 - Standard unit
5 - High Morale (roll with advantage or +2 until a few of the unit die)
6 - Veteran troops (add a Hit Dice and +2 attack)
