Ap-Battle system test.

[Genocide]

This is going to be a test of the AP battle system. I've got a scenario cooked up and I have a map. So, un momento por favor.


Map: Northern Anea-U.S.E.A. border. (Xie Long)

You can click on the thumbnail for a larger image.

The map is grided by letters LEFT TO RIGHT on the X AXIS(A-U). It is grided by numbers BOTTOM TO TOP on the Y AXIS (1-44).

Terrain: Spaces with a GREEN colored mountain in them is HILLS. Those with GRAY colored mountains in them are MOUNTAINS. Spaces with DARK GREEN dots in them are FORESTS. LIGHT GREEN is PLAINS. LIGHT BROWN is BARRENS. BLUE spaces are WATER. The BLACK line is the BORDER.

For years the U.S.E.A has dominated the northern trade routes, restricting access to only it's allies. This in turn starved the Anean economy. The leaders of the Anean Republic had pursued a diplomatic solution to this problem, but to no avail. General Harold Yarman was appointed three days ago to lead an invasion into U.S.E.A. and capture a cross roads known as Shipanto. The Anean army and U.S.E.A. armies were equal in strength or so it seemed. The first engagement occured 1200 miles east of the current battle zone, at Saipin, a province of Anea on the Grunder Sea. U.S.E.A. seized victory there and now marches towards Saipin. Now the Anean army pushes north towards Shipanto in an effort to draw attention away from Saipin.

This will be a field battle.

Objectives:
Anea: Destroy the U.S.E.A. command center. OR; Advance past row 40.

U.S.E.A.: Destroy all Anean army units; Survive for 40 turns; Destroy Anean supply depots

Not bad, not bad...

Give me a moment to get this right though.

(Third Edit) And if I don't end up posting, it means the workload on my end finally caught up to me.

*No idea how this is supposed to go...*

General Yarman and Captain Oloft is located at the farthest, middle mountain area.

They advances one spaces into the forest area.

Captains Huges and Klein are at the very right, far mountain area. They travel three spaces to the left.

Good start, now let me show you how it should be done.

First, use the grid to place each (Yeah I know it's not physically on the picture, Just use what I posted in the beginning) unit. Post their starting location (Grid format i.e. A-3).

Moving a single space over any terrain costs one AP. So when moving, subtract the number of spaces moved from your AP. Be sure to include directions (East West North South) and/or changes in direction while moving.

Get a feel for moving (but dont advance towards your objective) then i'll post.

Damn... another question: Can you fit all of your forces into one grid?

[Sun Jian]

Well it'd help if you can set it up markers like in some chess boards, basically chart it, seperate the map like a chart, with numbers going up and letters going down bottom(or Vice Versa) Its a good idea, cause then Range can actually play a significant part in the game and speed. Although it'd take some thinking on how to set it attack damage system. shame isn't like real life board, then dice can settle the issue. hell could even intergrate the Ldr ship with that, if opponent has 70 ldr opponent must roll a 7 or higher to inflict full damage......I've been playing to many games that involve real dice or fake modifiers in the game.

No you can't. Each unit occupies a seperate space on the map. However, you can move through a space occupied by a friendly unit, you just can't stop on it.
