Said the person who ruined my beautiful plan in Jungle Rampage with a single critical failure. Sorry, I just had to point it out.

I was talking more about the weapons stats in your forum battles. I desperately want you to post those because balanced vehicle-weapons rules are hard to come by, and yours seemed to work really well. Elmagnifico's ruleset has a system where certain units are vulnerable to certain weapons (e.g. Stalkers/lightning guns) which is why I wanted his rule set.

You tried to shoot an assault rifle down the barrel of a tank. How else was it supposed to go wrong? I mean I had absolutely nothing to work with there...

Umm for vehicles I just gave the Vostoks and MiG II's size 6 construction ratings with I think structure level II armour and went with it since that was easy to remember. For the tanks, I never calculated anything except cannon strength. I instead just treated them as big objects with certain armour levels and shooting at a tank was like shooting at a rock formation except you knew how strong it was.

Amending the official rules/adding a page for extra weapons/armor/blah would be great, but the overlord can't do that, there could be a sticky in this forum that lists the best stats or ones that the community has voted most for. Or something. I have no idea.
Still too awesome for an avatar and a real signature.
