But don't forget, this will only happen if the infantry unit manages to get into a grid square that is adjacent to the one occupied by the artillery unit. I doubt that anyone is likely to let that happen; either the artillery unit should have shot at - and destroyed - the infantry unit as it approached the artillery unit OR the artillery unit should have been pulled back before it was likely to be overrun.<br /><br />I think that this mechanism need play-testing ... and I hope to do so very soon.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-84808307484896823432013-06-18T13:40:25.135+01:002013-06-18T13:40:25.135+01:00Will you have any cases where a unit's only ho...Will you have any cases where a unit's only hope of winning is to roll a '6'? Say a factor of '5' vs a factor of '1'? This would mean that they either always either lose or destroy their opponent.<br /><br />Not a bad mechanism, otherwise. Worth thinking about, and then stealing in its entirety :)Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.com
