Tactical Bonus Symbols

Post by dundas61 »

Re the idea of including leaders, can I propose that a future release include a scaled-down version of Battle Academy 2's "Tactical Bonus Symbol" funtionality please?

This could be modified to include the BA2 Rally symbol, which allows a one-off morale boost every so often to one of your units in close combat, which reflects the presence of a highly effective leader succeeding in rallying his troops.

Can I add this to the wishlist please?

Interesting, how does this work in BA2> Do you "play an action card"? Are they limited, unlimited?

They appear randomly at lower-left side of screen every few turns - can be a life-saver sometimes !

Not random in BA - if a scenario.skirmish has the "action cards" each one can be used every X turns, so once you use it you have to wait the X turns before it is available again so managing how and when you use them is a useful skill. That said I'm not sure they'd really add much to Pike and Shot, although I'm sure most of us would like a "Rally" card :wink:
