On your turn, you have 5 commands. You can tell a target to move, and to take one of their possible actions (at any time before, during, or after their movement). This will usually be shooting a target, grenading, or healing.

Units may shoot at any target they can see, but if the target is behind cover or outside the unit's listed threat range, they'll do so with a penalty. Multiple penalties do stack.

- Scouts have good motion and range, and they're trained well enough in their rifles to have high accuracy, and even sometimes headshot. Their damage is middling though.
To command them to fire their rifle, declare a target and roll 5d5.
They'll automatically begin single-shot interception fire against enemies who walk through their threat range, and will automatically counter when fired upon.

- Troopers have high offense and defense, but less mobility than scouts. They'll miss a little more often, but they're spraying so many bullets it doesn't much matter.
To command them to fire their machine-gun, declare a target and roll 10d4.
They'll automatically begin 2-shot interception fire to any enemy walking through their range, and will automatically counter when fired upon.

- Medics are weak overall, but have doubled healing, can freely give their grenades to Scouts and Troopers, and can restock nearby Snipers who are out of ammo.
To command them to fire their pistol, declare a target and roll 5d5.
They can neither intercept enemies nor counter.

- Snipers have long range, and may sometimes instantly kill targets who aren't behind cover. Their ammo is limited, though, and their defense is nil.
To command them to fire their rifle, declare a target and roll 1d5.
They won't intercept enemies who walk through their range, but will counter when fired upon.

Conditional statements are your friends:
>If you run into someone along the way, stop moving and focus on them.
>If your health goes below 5, stop everything and heal
>Etc.

You have two scouts, two troopers, a medic, and a sniper. Your current underlings and some information on them are as follows...

(First person to command them gives a name. Second person to command them can come up with their prior job before joining the military)

(Scout) Name: XXXX
Runner: +1 Movement when selected (up to max).
Coward: Refuses to enter enemy interception fire.

(Scout) Name: XXXX
Point blank: +1 to shots against targets within 1 space.
Sadist: When commanding this unit, roll 1d2. Failure: Refuses to headshot (crits become normal damage).

(Trooper): Name: XXXX
Protector: Takes damage in place of allies on the same space.

(Trooper) Name: XXXX
Jumpy: Immediately engages any new enemy he sees that is within range, ignoring other orders.

(Medic) Name: XXXX
Tenacious: Clings to life at 1HP on the first turn they would have been incapacitated (once per battle).
Asthmatic: When commanding this unit, roll 1d2. Failure: suffer -1 Movement.
*BEGINNING OF TURN 1*

>You hear some static over the radio, then a few voices quieting down.
"This is XXXX. Everyone's at the base, sir. What are your orders?"
Before you can say anything, another pipes up:
"I think I see an enemy medic just across the way. Yeah. In that little alley between the department stores."
You mark it down on your map, and begin giving issuing commands.

>and the sniper arrived late because I forgot to copy-paste his traits with the others

- (Sniper) Name: XXXX
Vengeful: +1 to counterattacks.
Distracted: -1 to attacks if he shares the same space as an ally.


Units can go up to their listed "Move" in spaces with a single action. If the same unit is ordered to move again in the same turn, it is halved (rounding up).

e.g. You tell your medic to cover 5 spaces. If you give him/her a second order this turn, their max movement becomes 3 instead.

Command 1:
They're trying to get their medic out of there, but he's getting intercepted by our scout every step of the way.
>1, 4, 1, 5
(miss)(hit)(miss)(crit)
They couldn't make it out.
That's one down!

Command 3:
Their sniper in the northwest alley takes a shot at Vassal. He's just barely in range for a kill shot.

(miss)
Vassal ducks down and hears the crack of a bullet whiz by. He's a little spooked, but unharmed.

Command 4:
Unknown.

Command 5:
A second enemy sniper we couldn't see is running out from behind a wall, heading west from their camp. He's training his sights on our first trooper.
>4
(-1 due to being out of range)
>3
(hit)
Our trooper shrinks back only slightly as a powerful bullet flattens into the body armor over his chest.
I've felt worse.

The enemies' first turn is over

The allies' second turn begins. You have five actions.

Trooper (Glacier, if he's unnamed), occupy I4 and engage enemy trooper. At the same time you get to protect the scout should the northeast sniper move to hit you.

Command 1:
You tell Glacier that soldier's wounded badly, and before you can get another word out, he's already on the move. He eats two shots entering the enemy trooper's range.
>4, 4
(hit)(hit)
>Glacier is at 7/15 HP
He steadies his machine-gun, and sprays forward.

Before the trooper can counter, the hurt allied scout raises his rifle and joins in.
>1, 2, 2, 5, 3
(miss)(hit)(hit)(crit)(hit)
Peppered with bullets, the trooper drops to his knees and falls back, firing blindly into the sky.
>Enemy trooper defeated.

You hear the scout's voice over the radio.
Jeez, man. You just saved my ass.


When an enemy is within range of multiple threatening allies, others may join in on the attack at no cost.

It is good strategy to bunch up for offense, and spread thin for defense.

You have 4 more commands.

>>220753
They can't join in on team attacks, but they also can't fire at you just for walking through their threat range. They can counter if you attack them while in their range, though.

Another difference is ammo and health don't passively regenerate on their own.

Command 1:
An unseen scout from rank 8 steps into the western alleyway just long enough to fire on our trooper Vassal.
>4, 5, 3, 2, 3
(hit)(crit)(hit)(hit)(hit)
>Trooper Vassal has 9/15 HP.
He's out of Vassal's threat range, so doesn't get counterattacked. The scout uses the rest of his motion to disappear back between the buildings.
Where the hell did he come from?

Command 2:
The northwest sniper loads up to finish the job.
>3
(hit)
The bullet echoes loudly between the walls, and you hear a wince of pain.
>Trooper Vassel is at 3/15 HP.
>Northwest enemy sniper has 1 shot remaining.

Command 3:
Their brave sniper in the middle of the road goes for Falco.
>3

Our sniper's down, sir!
Radio static.
I'll get you back... for this...
>Falco Lateman is at 0/6 HP.
>A medic will have to heal him before he's able to take action again.
>North central enemy sniper has 1 shot remaining.

Command 4:
A trooper rounds the corner from the enemy base.
>2, 4, 4, 3, 1, 3, 2, 1, 3, 1 (all -1: out of range)
(miss)(hit)(hit)(hit)(miss)(hit)(miss)(miss)(hit)(miss)
Hrk! Me too? I never shoulda come out here...
>Our first scout was finished off, from 3/12 to 0/12 HP.
Shit. We're out by two now!
The pot-shotting trooper vanishes back around the corner where no one has line of sight.

Command 5:
An enemy scout pops out from between the buildings again, likely the same one as before. This time he's on the east side.
>Glacier spots him just within range, and intercepts with a small burst.
>3, 4
(hit)(hit)
>The nimble scout takes the hits, going from full to 10/12 HP.
He takes cover where he is, ducking behind some barrels, and attacks Glacier.

(miss)(miss)(miss)(hit)(hit)(miss)(miss)(hit)(miss)(hit)
>The ducking alleyway scout is damaged from 10/12 to 6/12 HP.
Punk.

They can't have any men left back there. Those two snipers, the scout, and that trooper just now are probably it.
Pshh. Says who? That hunch of yours better not be wrong.
It's hard to tell exactly who is speaking, but you order them to keep up the reports.

End of 2nd turn.

The allies begin turn 3. You have 5 commands.

Past bump limit. Did people lose hope after that last round?

I think I'm mostly satisfied with the system, though a couple things might need balancing.

If anyone's interested, the second operation (pic related) would've involved going over the bridge to capture the base on the east side, including a quadrupled map size and a roof to snipe from.
