AbNESIII:
Band of (plastic) Brothers


How to get started:

You have £2.50 pocket money, with it you can go to the model shop any buy anything you like. Currently the shop is pretty low on stuff, so there are only a few models. Perhaps with time there will be more. ;)

~Soldier x 10 (50p)
~Jeep x 1 (£1.50) (can carry 4 people 3 squares a turn)
~Sniper x 1 (£1) (can attack 3 squares away)
~Medic x 1 (50P) (reduces casualitys)
~Wall x 1 (20p) (Cannot be sniped through, takes one soldier to destroy)

You must then choose your colour and a starting location on the edge of the map.

For example:

Player: Abaddon
Colour: BLUE
Starting Point: (I:13)
Army: 20 Soldiers, 1 x Medic, 1 x Sniper


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Each week Johnny and his friends continue their tabletop game of warfare, over time they have developed the rules to allow the game to be a little more advanced than playing with their imagination alone.

Every square controlled of the map means they can spend more of their pocket money the next week. Each square is 10p, you gain control of it by having a soldier finish a turn there.

You lose control when an enemy unit passed through or claims it themselves.


All combat will be worked out with a 20 sided dice, with various things giving bonus and penalitys. until revealed the terrain is random under the squares. It could be good or bad for the attacker/defender.

Good show :) Spend your initial pocket money and tell me where you want to start.


Beware, this is a kids tabletop game, beware their imagination! :evil: haha
 
That map and it's optical illusion have me hypnotized. I'll join up later today.

Hey, Abaddon, will this NES be very time consuming in your opinion, or not? If not I can take this on.

Starting Point: (O:12)
Army: 20 Soldiers, 1 x Medic, 1 x Sniper (Yep, I think its good)
 
Yeah, if someone decided to write something, i might give a +1 to dice rolls, but thb on a 20 sided dice its not much of a change.

An yes, it should be incredibly simple.. no tactics, simply tell me what you want to spend your money on, and where you want to move.



Any idea how I control who moves first?
 
We're small kids, do it in the order people signed up in, "Got here first," type mentality :p

OK, order will be made from the signups, and then rotate.
