Scars of War / Battle Damage

[Gargantua]

If you capture a territory in 1 round of combat, treat the capture just like normal.

However….

If you are forced to fight over a territory for more than 1 round,  roll 1d6 damage to each facility there.

The Concept being - that in a prolonged fight over an airfield, naval base, factory, or all of the above, the resultant facilities would suffer from the surrounding combat, unless faced with a suprising, or overwhelming force!

Absolutely!  You could even make it more brutal by saying no dice are rolled if it was a walk in, 1 dice per facility is rolled if there was 1 round of battle, 2 dice if there were 2 rounds, 3 dice for 3 rounds, etc.  An evacuating force could leave 1 infantry behind to basically blow the place up, kind of like a scorched earth rule.

Brilliant idea Gar! Simple, yet makes perfect sense. I may try this.

Very good Idea!

Very simple like, like Varible said, but like the real war.

Like when you battle in Moscow with 70+ Units each and Russian win, the complex is perfectly fine……Not realistic. :-)

I like it.  Great ideas usually have the hallmarks of the following statement.  “I should have thought of that”, you know it’s a winner when……

Simple and Sweet.

You could even do a flat 1pt of damage per combat round.

I like that concept Variable.

I like this.

I think, though, that dice should be rolled from Round 1, just like SBR.

Result 1-3, do that much damage.

Result 4-6, no damage.

Then multiply by the # of Rounds you fight.

A three-round battle would result in three dice being chucked for damage on each piece of infrastructure.

This concept will work especially well with HBG’s new infrastructure pieces.
