The image is a screenshot from the application Battle Chronicler. As I am going to play this game virtually, I might as well give this application another go.
Step 10: Deploy forces. According to the instructions for an Attacker Ambush, the defender must have forces on each location. (Note that it does not specify only on defender locations!) The attacker then deploys forces on all locations placed by him.
Step 11: Place the links between locations. Once the force are deployed, the attacker places all links in an Attacker Ambush.
Here are the links, without the troops.
The yellow lines are Field links, the white Track links, the red Broken links, and the green Forest links.
Here are the forces deployed, along with the links.
[At this point I stopped, started laying out units on the "table", and found out that it was all not going to fit...]
Interesting, I have been trying to work out how to use battle chronicler to "play" games as well. So far I have been a little frustrated by the unit set up portion. Was it this aspect that led to it not fitting, or the choice of "table" size for the encounter?
ReplyDeleteThis is my second real attempt at using BC, the first being here.
ReplyDeleteThe basic problem is that TWTUD uses "locations" (terrain pieces) to hold troops, not the whole board. As a location is generally about 12"x6" or 8"x8", and a unit is about 10"x1", this leads to columns of units in every location.
The table size is 6'x4', but again, that does not come into play because the rules restrict the combat area to, in this case, 6 pieces of the above proportions, or about 400 square inches.
Either I am doing something wrong or ... oops!
