This game is played on an excel spread sheet grid. Each player will start by placing their capital, which has one factory. You do this by replying in the following format:
Round 0
Capital
Coordinates (Between 1A and 50AX) (You may not place within 2 of any other player)
Team (Red, Blue, or Green)
After the initial capital placement round, there will be turns divided into rounds in the following order: Research(A), Production(B), Combat Move(C), Noncombat Move(D), and Placement (E)
During the research round, each player chooses how much they want to invest in research, and what they want to research. For every 5 they invest, a die is rolled. Each roll of one increases their research progress by 1. The effects of the technology come into effect immediately.
During the production round, players can produce infrastructure and/or units.
During the combat round, each player first rolls for initiative on a 1d100, then takes turns moving their units into combat or bombing.
After each player's combat turn, I will resolve all battles automatically using TripleA and excel. Basically, during combat a die is rolled for each unit, and for each roll <= the attack score(if their the attacker) or the defense score(if their the defender), the opponent takes a casualty. The casualties are taken automatically from most to least important, taking into account artillery support and multiple HP.
After every player has finished their combat turn, I will show the updated map.
Then during the noncombat move, all players can move any units that did not participate in combat, as well as land their planes and bombers. I will then show the updated map again.
Then, during the placement round players can place their purchased units and infrastructure at any of their factories, but not the ones they just captured.
After the turn ends, players earn 1 income per tile they control, +25 per capital, +10 per city. Each player has $50 at the start of round 0.
Also no roleplaying that's against forum rules.
