[DL] The Crucible (Spoilers)

[Steven Walmsley <swalmsley@icegallery.com>]

For all of those who aren't knowing, the Crucible is the adventure in the
back of the S&R sourcebook. So any players of mine or any other posse
members that shouldn't be knowing of these events, GIT!!!

   The posse I'm running have been very successful throughout most of this
adventure, although they did manage to get the Lieutenant at the Fort
relieved of his command and awaiting a court marshall. But all that aside
let me paint the current situation and question at hand.
   The posse is currently about to bed down for the night when the 'Attack
of the Mole People' begins. Up to this point the posse has discovered the
Doctors involvement, found and destroyed the Rock Demon, let "Ginny" Hickson
slip through their fingers and escape to the Witches Camp, and filled in the
tunnel. The witches are still going with their initial plan so the attack
should follow the guidelines in the adventure.
   All that aside, here's my current dilemma. Could anyone give me any
suggestions how to run this last combat. These are the numbers I'm dealing
with at the moment. The total attacking force is 24 npcs (12 infiltrators, 1
steam tank and 11 reinforcements). The defending force is 6 posse members
and 17 npcs.
   I'm looking for ways to cut down the time I spend rolling all the attacks
rolls, and following rolls, for all 40 npc's under my control. The steam
tank and 11 reinforcements I have already taken care of. 
   Any help would be appreciated.
