We've been rolling these foes separately which does result in more bookkeeping. Like you say, it's not a question of being better or worse, it's just what we decided on. For really big combats I've been using PCs as exemplars for how the whole battle's going. If they're doing well the whole fights going well.

I am interested in people playng style. Usually, in an extended contest we will treat a given hero's opponents as a group. So in a fight, if Harmast is faced by two warriors of the Scumbag clan (warrior 17), we would treat them as agroup with 34AP. Now while Multiple opponent penalties still apply there is a change in the outcomes here because Harmast's opponents are only making one roll per round, not two.

I guess we have adopted this pattern for extended contests for two reasons. 1: It balances with the treatment of the hero and his/her followers as a unit. 2: Its faster in and requires less bookeeping in play.

Now I don;t think that there is a right/wrong answer, but I am interested in how others have been handling this situation and their experiences of doing it their way.
