One thing I enjoyed/remember (perhaps incorrectly) about Outer Rims simming universe that our own Jay built many moons ago was a big map and facils planted all over... objectives were like "capture the ore mine" not "kill everything".

If we could make sure our game is focused on objectives and not just KILL EVERYTHING, we would all be more engaged and the game will be more fun. Hence, the idea of just capturing individual facils, or whatever. If you fail to capture the Capitol, whatever that means, you cant take control, etc.

Good ideas all around.

I don't want to truncate the ground battle to a one-time formula, because I think the logistics of landing an invasion force need to be handled via AP, and as we saw with the ISD invasion, you can't drop 100% of your forces in one go. Also, the only way to one-shot a PDF is if you bring 2-3 times the amount of defenders, and mainly vehicles at that.

In fact now that I'm thinking about it, I will do another round of Mocha III in order to bring in air-to-ground attacks from SF.

It's a good thing I'm doing more posts because it occurred to me that there is an asymmetry between SF/AUX and GAV when it comes to air-to-ground or ground-to-air attacks.

The solution is to drop a 0 from all GAV/INF specs, as this balances everything out. But I don't want to make a drastic change in the specs in the middle of a mock, so the ISD post will carry with the current specs just so everyone can see the problem.

As I am writing up the pirate post for the Winter Moon, is there any specific unit interaction that anybody wants to see?

OK, post done. I like the implementation of the ground grid.

Looks good. Are you gonna bring some NR SFs in for attack runs? They basically have to use Attack Run AP mechanic to make ground attacks?
