This has nothing to do with BleachD20. I, Dire Reverend, pay for BleachD20.com, so if I want to host stuff that isn't BleachD20, then so be it.

Advance Wars/Chess on Steroids: Turn-Based Fightan Game
Current Notes: map types and terrain
There are two types of maps that CoS:TBFG is played on: Overland and Installation.
Overland Map
An overland map is a large-scale battlemap. Turns are measured in days, and squares represent several miles.
The game pieces in Overland Maps are called Squads. Unless the Squad's description says otherwise, squads do not represent a single unit, but multiple units.
and s do not consist of a single units, but multiple people or vehicles. Their health represents the remaining number of units
Overland Terrain
Grassland: A grassland is a mostly flat area of grass. Trees or other obstacles may be found in a grassland, but they aren't large enough to affect gameplay. Grasslands grant all land units with one additional point of defense. Moving through a grassland is easy, costing only one move point for footsoldiers and tread units, but wheeled units however must spend 2 move points.
Road: A road is a major roadway, almost always paved. Roads don't offer any defense points to land units, but all land units can move through a road using only one move point.
Forest: A forest is a dense collection of flora, appropriate to whatever location the battlemap is in. Forests provide all land units with two points of defense. In addition, when playing in a battlemap with fog of war on, an opposing army can't see what is in a forest unless they have a unit of their own in an adjacent square. The collection of plants make traveling through the area difficult. Footsoldiers and tread units spend two move points to move, and wheeled units spend three.
Mountain: Mountains provide land units with three defense points, and if using fog of war, increases a land unit's vision by 2. Only footsoldiers can enter mountains, and doing so costs three move points.
Town: A town is a small <SOMETHING>. It provides one additional point of defense, and all land units can enter a town by spending one move point. If a town is occupied by an army, at the beginning of each turn the owning army earns $500.
City: A city is a large metropolis, sometimes extending over more than one square. Cities grant two points of defense, and all land units can enter a city by spending one move point. If a city is occupied by an army, at the beginning of each turn the owning army earns $1000.
Factory: A Factory is similar to a city, but it has the capability to produce land-based military units. It has all the traits of a city, but also can produce any standard land unit.
Airport: A Factory is similar to a city, but it has the capability to produce air-based military units. It has all the traits of a city, but also can produce any standard air unit.
Seaport: A Seaport is similar to a city, but it has the capability to produce sea-based military units. It has all the traits of a city, but also can produce any standard sea unit, and sea units can enter this terrain.
Mega-Factory: A Mega-Factory is a single factory the size of a small city. It has the capability to produce standard land, air and sea units, even if there are no adjacent oceans (the sea unit would simply be unable to move). It grants three points of defense, and all units can enter a Mega-Factory by spending one move point.
Installation Map
An installation map is a much smaller scale battlemap. Turns are only ten seconds long, and squares represent only a couple of feet. A desk could be one square, while an elevator or a meeting table could be two squares.
The game pieces in Installation Maps are called Units. A Unit is a singular person, unlike Squads. Most Squads have Unit equivalent for Installation Maps. For example, the Tank Squad has an equivalent unit called the Cannoneer. He is a muscular man who carries a handheld cannon with him.
Installation Terrain
Floor Space: A floor space is just that- a floor. While on a floor space, a unit does not gain any defense points. It costs one move point to enter a floor space.
Obstacle: An obstacle is something that makes passing through the square difficult, but also granting defense to any unit in the square. It could be anything, a desk, a fridge, whatever. An obstacle grants one point of defense, and entering an obstacle square costs two move points.
Wall: A wall is a solid material, blocking passage and sight past it. No unit can pass a wall. If the battlemap has fog of war enabled, a unit cannot see through a wall. In addition, Any unit with ranged attacks cannot shoot someone on the other side of the wall.
Wall, Cracked: A cracked wall is similar to a wall, but it can be destroyed, turning the cracked wall into a floor space. A cracked wall has ten hit points, and has a defense bonus of 2.
Ammo Locker: An ammo locker is a locker full of various munitions. When a unit begins their turn adjacent to an ammo locker, their ammo is restored to full.
Current Notes: Squads and Units
Currently I have stats for Installation units, but these may transfer to Overland Squads.
| Civilian | Soldier | Detonator | Mine | Cannoneer | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hit Points | 1 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 1 |
| Base Defense | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Attack Die | None | 2 | Sp.1 | 3 | 3 |
| Attack Range | None | TBA | 1 | 0 | 4 |
| Sight | 10 | 10 | 10 | 1 | 10 |
| Movement | Feet(4) | Feet(5) | Feet(3) | None | Feet (3) |
| Abilities | None | None | Place Mine | Stealth, Trap | Cone Fire |
| Cost | Sp.2 | 100 | 200 | N/A | 500 |
1. The Detonator cannot directly harm opponents, but can lay down mines. See the Detonator's description for details.
2. Civilians cannot be purchased during gameplay.
Civilian
The civilian is a defenseless, unarmed target. Depending on the objective of the battlemap, their purpose (or lack thereof) changes. For example, one map could have one team holding hostages, while the other team is sent to rescue the hostages. Another map could have a VIP that needs to be protected while the main objective is completed. In maps with no objective surrounding civilians, they just impede movement and get in the way of fighting.
Civilians cannot be purchased during gameplay, they must be placed before the battlemap starts by the GM.
Soldier
CANNON FODDER.
Detonator
A Detonator is a supporting role on an installation map, setting up mines to damage unsuspecting enemies.
Detonator Abilities
Place Mine: The detonator can place one Mine on an unoccupied adjacent square each turn. A Detonator can carry up to three Mines at a time, and after he has placed all three he must restock.
Mine
A Mine is a hidden device that explodes when an opponent enters the space the mine is located. Once it is placed, it cannot be moved.
Mine Abilities
Stealth: Mines cannot be seen by members of opposing teams, unless they are adjacent to the mine. To them, the square appears to be unoccupied. Stealth functions in and out of fog of war battlemaps, though it is possible to see the Detonator place the mine. To target a mine, a team must have one of their units (or an allied unit) next to the mine.
Trap: When an opposing member of the mine's team enters a square containing a mine, their turn immediately ends on the mine's square. They do not get to attack or use any special ability. The mine then attacks the unit occupying its space, despite it not being the mine's turn. After the attack is resolved, the mine is destroyed.
Cannoneer
A Cannoneer is a large, muscular soldier. While he is not as fast as his other comrades, he does carry a sizable hand cannon, which is useful for defeating stronger units and cracked walls.
Cannoneer Abilities
Cone Fire: Maybe. Maybe. I've yet to meet one who can outsmart cone fire.
