Combat Zone Expansion(s)
« on: January 23, 2009, 04:57:52 PM »
I just exchanged some emails with Doug from Em4 and he gave me the go to put my rewrite of the Combat Zone battle book and any additional rules I had online for people to take a look at and see if they like the changes or have some usefull comments that I can use for the final drafts.

So here is a (OCR) rewrite of the battle book. I took the force list out and added some thing which were missing. (hopefully I gave them correct values). In the foreword I explain in a bit more detail what I did, why and what I'll be doing. at the end of the pdf there is a summary/reference sheet.

Next to this there is an extensive rewrite of the vehicle rules. We tested them a few times and are allready quite happy with them, but to say that they are finished is saying a lot. I can't be sure about the point values I gave to the vehicles yet, so I would sugest to see for yourself if they fit. I'd rather have the vehicles a bit to expensive instead of them being to cheap. What I still would like to add is optional equiipment and eapons to add to vehicles. for this I gave each vehcle already a number of free slots wich can be filled in with equipment/weapons (at least as soon as I've figure out how to use them).

And here is a reference sheet for the vehicle rules

Why aim for gold if you can get lead?

It's much easier to read than the old edition, but I think it still could do with a little cleaning up by making headings clearer, spacing around rules, consistant layout, etc. The rules themselves are fine, their just impossible to get an overview of in the original version, and though it's much tidier now (well done in attempting that!) it could still do with a little work.

I fully agree with that it still needs more work. Ideally I would have put in in Indesign and get cmpletly funky on the layout.

However, since there was only a (not OCR-ed) pdf available I wanted to make a .doc format file first. The pdf you gor is made directly from that. I'll take a look at the headings to see if it can make a lot more clear. And if I really have time left I'll even work on an index :D
