Urban War: Veteran Team Actions

As you may imagine, I've already been doing some work on the framework for VTA. This may change in detail, though it should be broadly what we end up with.

This is a supplement for UW a bit like UW CLAU-Team Actions. VTA will add an experience/campaign system to allow players to keep the same teams over several games. The intention is to include a general framework for advancement onto which each faction adds their own spin. Syntha and Gladiators, for example, don't value the same things and won't see the same things as improvements so that should be true in VTA. Although it's a lot more work to have different experience systems for each faction, it's just way cooler and will give a lot more character to the forces, so that's what I want to do. As I said though, the principles will be the same for each so you only have to learn the basic mechanics once. The details, however, will be different for each side.

Broadly put, by doing well in battles individual team members will gain new skills and abilities as well as equipment. I have a particularly simple-but-cool mechanic in mind for this which adds a nice level of decision making and angst to the game.

There will need to be a system to balance veteran teams against newbies.

VTA will include a campaign system to fight linked battles.

Additional equipment, abilities and scenarios will be included as appropriate.


And that about covers it. I'll come back and expand on each of these areas later.
