Ok so I'm making a Skirmish Game and here's my ideas

here are the different stats:Aim, this helps decide if you hit or not in shooting and close combat, Armor, this is used when all your force field is gone to tell if you die, Speed, this is the order of combat and movement, this is also your movement in inches, Power, this is how hard you can hit in close combat, and Force Field, this is like wounds when you lose all of them you use your armor to protect you.

You name your armies and units, although you use the same types of units and stats for different units. The types of units are Soldiers, Aircraft, Tanks, A.I., Mercinaries, and Aliens.

So, what do you think. (you can make your history, but you don't have to)

I think if you toss in another 200 words; you've got the game I played with my GI Joes and Army Ants at recess in the sandbox.

What are you talking about?

You've posted a game with 4 stats and no rules.

That's what I'm talking about.

How do they inter-relate? How do you random number generate? How are forces ordered? What scale is the game? What are the objectives? How do I deploy? How do I design units?

How about... y'know... some rules?
