Has anybody run a large social encounter using minor modifications to the Mass Combat rules? I was considering an episode of a dinner party, or political gathering. Instead of having infantry, armor, artillery, you would have politicians, media, and business people. Modifiers could include protocol droids, equipment, etc. Each phase the PC's could engage a particular person in "social combat" bantering words, or even outright fighting or theft. I think it could work, but wanted to know if anyone else had tried it.

It’s crossed my mind as a solid idea but I’ve yet to have a chance to try it

Long Arm of the Hutt has a large social gathering with a variety of NPC's the group has to engage. As the GM, I didn't even think to use Mass Combat rules, instead letting the group treat it as a series of individual encounters as they wander the room. I'm only bringing it up because the Adventure guide did offer some advice and assistance for GM's to utilize in working through the scene.

I'm also thinking of a larger case, where the PC's have allies working the room as well, semi-autonomously. Think political convention, or a senate vote.
