RPG Economics!

RPG Economics means guestimating costs for player to help the Company with:


  • Combat Fatigue,
  • Stress,
  • XP,
  • Trust,
  • Casualties

'Currency' spent is Loyalty, Prestige, and Replacements earned in last scenario. All that means spreadsheets😬

Every map tells a story



Before, units were wrecked by active combat. But a designer had a nice idea to allow them at the start of a scenario as part of the map. For example, there might have been a fight before you arrived.
