Hello all.
Played some of the new Battleforce when the SO book came out, but now after a long period of not playing any mini games (And some accidents), I've forgotten how to play. Thus the questions.
1. A Unit in BF is four or more elements, right? As in one unit could be an IS Lance, or a Clan Star, or even a Company, A Battalion, Cluster/Trinary or any formation?
2. How does one assign and distribute a turn of damage against a large unit? Do attacks against a unit get divided equally against all elements in the unit? Or are all attacks directed to a single element in a unit, at a time?
3. Is there a limit to the amount of units allowed in a game session, as I assume a battle would have to be occurring between a somewhat equal number of balanced units?
4. in discussions of the two upcoming IO books, the terms BattleForce (BF) and Strategic BattleForce (SBF) have been used. Is an updated version of BF coming out, like the QS/Alpha Strike books came out, or are the BF & SBF just different terms for the same SO BF rules?
Any constructive clarifications are heartily welcome, and needless to say, any referrals to wait for the IO books for all the answers are not helpful. :-)
Hoping to get back to my BT BF campaigns, and custom scenario battles!
