I think one approach to scaling playouts is to subdivide the board, stipulate the outcome in a fixed part, and do "norman" playout in the interesting part. The trick is to do a reasonable subdivision in the first place. Imagine an advanced UCT model that conceptually behaves like human evaluation, where you try to divine the outcome of some local fight (ignoring everything else) as a first pass.
