This is basically a room with 'walls' of battling enemies and allies, so its shape can be random. The players are locked into a corner of the battle which may be as small as 20ft by 20ft. What I realised is that you don't need to simulate an entire battle (unless the PCs are in charge of the whole thing, but that's for another day), you just need to make it feel like they're in the middle of a battle without having to control the actions of hundreds of allies and enemies. This makes things less chaotic and removes the need to make a whole new ruleset, but hey sometimes you just want to drop your PCs into the middle of a vast battle. The 3.5 supplement Heroes of Battle doesn't seem to offer much, instead suggesting the players have encounters on the fringes of war. I'm working off of 3.5 rules, but from my (limited) experience I think 5e has the same issues. I've found anything beyond small-scale skirmishes difficult to manage and unsatisfying for players. TL DR: Keep encounters localised within the battlefield and roll random battle events each round for wider scope.
