Non mafia, Battle Royale Style'd Game sign up

[taka]

Hi all!

Right, I thought I'd host a non-mafia game similar in style to battle royale as a prelude game to my upcoming small game mafia.

I've never hosted a game before so there will be a lot to learn from this and I don't think things will go perfect as planned. However what I need now though, is how many people would be interested in joining such a game so that I can plan the mechanics of the game.

Since its a prelude to my small mafia game, it'll be based on the warhammer 40k theme - I'm no big warhammer fan, but I really like the possibilities that i can get from this theme. If you know all your warhammer stuff then i'm sure this would be a bonus - if you don't, well just treat it as another sci-fi theme'd game

The map is under construction by Yoyoma1910 already, so a big ups for him

Just to let you know, there will be factions and teams etc so get ready to team up on eachother >:)

Since its my first game, I'm not looking for lots a players - if there's too many then I might have to random.org it or first come first serve basis.

Just to give you some information and background knowledge, this link will give you a lot of info on the the stuff you might expect:

UPDATE
3 factions will deffinately be in:
Space Marines
Chaos Space Marines
Orks
there will be other secret factors (well i guess most of you can guess which one's it'll be, but i may throw in an unexpected one :D)

The rough idea of the story will be:
edit: i can't let you know yet, it'll reveal all the victory conditions before the game even started!

anyway, the map will be gridded, BR style and players will have to travel around the map by giving co-ordinates

each player will be assigned a faction and will be allowed to pick from a selection of units, each with pros and cons, and given stats.

There will be certain objectives for different factions, and not just killing eachother - some will have conflicting objectives and might need to fight over it!

You can make alliances, but some factions will deffinately not be able to work together eg space marines and chaos marines. but let me remind the players, EVERY player/faction will have their own objectives, so pick wisely.....

everything that is done by chance will be done via random.org

So, sign up already!

Thanks for reading!

I'm looking to recruit 3 more players, so any other players interested to join is welcome to do so!

otherwise the game will start when the map is finished

I used a unit that's not going to be in this game as an example for squad choice.

When I send you a pm, you will get either 2 or 3 Unit types to choose from (depending on how many i can do)

Heres the example:

Battle Sister Squad

Number of units in squad:
10 (10 hp per unit, 100hp in total)

Weapon Selection:

Bolter:
Ranged: 2
Melee: 2

Heavy Bolter:
Ranged: 4
Melee: 1

Flamer :
Ranged: NA
Melee: 4

*Damage is per unit when weapon is equipped. Ranged is 1 of the 8 adjacent square, melee is the 1of the 4 adjacent squares.

Ambush SKills:
5/10 (50% chance)

Active Traits:
When equipped with Bolter, Special ammunition selection of:
1x Metal Storm Frag shells - +2 damage per unit
2x Stalker Silenced Shells - Ambush +25%

Passive Traits:
Can move 1 square when full squad, 2 squares when ½ squad
Sight Range: 2 squares
+10% damage when fighting Chaos Heretics (any weapon, attacking and defending)
+10% damage when defending with Heavy Bolter
Flamers cannot be used in jungle (you’ll burn the whole jungle down!)

This is just an example of some of the things you MAY get in the finalised selection choice

Now I will move on to battle calculations

for the sake of the example, i'm gonna use battle sister vs battle sister

Example of damage calculations:

Attacking squad 10 units equipped with bolter, ranged, using one time only Metal Storm Frag Shells=
10x(2+2)= 40 damage to enemy HP

Defending squad has heavy bolter, 40-10%= 36

Defending squad is taken from 100hp to 64 hp (7 units).

Defending Squad 7 units equipped with heavy bolter, ranged=
7x4 = 28 (+10%) = 31 damage to enemy HP

attacking squad is taken from 100hp to 69 hp (7 units)

Final results:

Attacker 69hp 7 units
defender 64hp 7 units

Of course when a Battle does happen, I wont be giving you all that gibberish. But i'll tell it through the write up. and then give a final result.
