My players are fighting an army and doing gorillia warfare. they keep casting entangle spells on like 20-30 of my troops and it is a PAIN to figure out who makes their saves and who fails. then the next round i have to roll saves all over again for those who made the initial save to see if they can move and those that fail have to roll str. checks. I cant keep it all straight, even then it is taking too much time for all the necessary rolls.

That's exactly what I do when I have that many NPCs.

20-30 you say? Divide them into 5 groups of 4, or 6 groups of 5. Do this for most area attacks as well (fireball, breath weapons, ...). It will speed up your record keeping VERY much.
