Thanks SG!
I'm actually thinking about maybe setting this up as a VT or battlemap...the only thing though is that I haven't had any experience with typical rules or methods of play in any kind of rpg game...(except maybe Diablo a long time ago)
The only game I can really think of in the way of tactical and strategy games would be Risk...which could maybe work if modified a little bit
does anyone have any pointers or advice for setting up rules for a game?
