Late 22nd Century...

Earth, home of the Mankind, is now a ravaged planet, torn by conflict between superpowers.

It all started in 2038, when scientists from United States discovered the stable Element-124, a powerful energy source. The US sought to keep monopoly on the discovery.

Alas, it was an era where no secret was safe and where information spread like wildfire. Regional and world powers soon learned of US discoveries and quickly attained Element-124 for themselves. At first, everyone thought it would be used to provide a long-lasting energy source, alleviating the problems that came with depletion of fossil fuels in the same decade.

However, as it has always been, the new scientific discovery was first used in a different field: WARFARE.

It is now year 2187, and the memory of the World War IV is just that: a vague memory in the minds of the disappearing generation of elders.

The Directorate maintains an iron grip on Europe, from Iberia to Ural Mountains. The Atlantic Federation wages covert and overt wars against its enemies and allies alike; and the third superpower, Asian Co-Prosperity Alliance, bids its time, its borders closed and its secrets inaccessible to anyone...

Enter SPOOKS: Selected Personnel Operating Outside Known Specifications. Military special force of the Federation, its Units often operating without diplomatic authorization, proper support or adequate firepower. Their goal: to preserve the security and existence of Federation and protect it against all of its enemies, be they the Directorate, the Alliance, or any other external forces!

This is test, for which we need 6 players total :V

There will be 1 battlemap where we do shootings.

Combat Triangle:

Mechs beat Tanks (+15 Hit and +1 Damage for Mech, -15 Hit and -1 Damage for Tank)
Tanks beat Opers (+15 Hit and +1 Damage for Tank, -15 Hit and -1 Damage for Oper)
Opers beat Mechs (+15 Hit and +1 Damage for Oper, -15 Hit and -1 Damage for Mech)
Gunships can fly (no Terrain restrictions)
*technically, pilots outside their Mechs/Tanks/Gunship are treated as if they were Opers

---

Note on Crits:

Against Mechs, Tanks and Gunships, Criticals deal x3 Damage.
Versus Opers, Criticals deal x2 Damage.

---

Malfunctions:

Vehicles (Mechs, Tanks, Gunships) can be hit with special weapons that can cause Malfunctions. If that happens, a Malfunction is randomly choosen from the ones on the list:

CPU Malfunction: -5 Hit&Evasion; cannot switch Weapons.
Targeting Malfunction: -25 Hit
Drive Malfunction: Halved MOV
Reactor Malfunction: 1-5 Damage at start of each Turn.

---

Stats:

Health Points (HP): this goes to 0, death occurs. Player Characters and named Allies have KO Counter, which will induce death after 3 turns pass unless healed.
Structural Points (SP): this goes to 0, your Mech/Tank/Gunship becomes junk and you gotta leave your vehicle (3 MOV). If it gets to or below -45, it explodes, dealing (0+(HP below zero)) damage to adjacent tiles. Any units inside the exploding vehicle are insta-killed.
Tank/Mech/Gunship Operations (T/M/GOP): Each point of Tank Operations grants +1 Hit and Evasion when operating a Tank/Mech/Gunship.
Skill (SKL): Each point of Skill provides +2 to Hit and +1 to Crit.
Support (SPR): Each point of Support increases amount of HP/SP you restore with Kits/Assemblies by 1.
Luck (LCK): Each point of Luck provides +1 to Evasion and Dodge.
Speed (SPD): Each point of Speed provides +1 Attack Speed and +3 to Evasion for foot-units (Opers and Tank/Mech/Gunship pilots outside their machines).
Movement (MOV): How many tiles orthogonally you can traverse per Turn. Mechs have 3 MOV, Tanks 5 MOV, Gunships 7 MOV. Opers start with 5 MOV, but this varies depending on Class and equipment; each piece of Equipment after 3rd that Oper carries (max.5) lowers his/her MOV by 1.

Attack Strength (AT): How much damage you deal with the currently equipped weapon.
Hit (Hit): Determines your chances to strike a target and deal damage.
Attack Speed (AS): If you have 4 or more Attack Speed than your opponent, you attack twice per combat. This is Oper-only stat, but for 'doubling' calculations, AS = machine's MOV x2.
Evasion (Eva): Determines your chances to evade an attack.
Critical (Crt): Determines your chances to deal extra damage. Countered by Dodge.
Dodge (DG): Determines your chances to avoid a Critical.

---

---

Movement and Actions:

Moving a tile takes 1 MOV. Certain terrain types increase MOV cost; Rocky terrain and Forests increase it by 1 (2 for Tanks), and Thick Forest increases it by 2 (3 for Tanks). However, Forest and Thick Forest also grant +10 and +20 Evasion, respectively.
Gunships do not receive any MOV penalties from Terrain, but they also do not receive Evasion bonuses from Terrain.
Entering or leaving a vehicle takes 3 MOV.
You have 1 Action per turn; you can spend it on using an Item or attacking with a Weapon; switching Weapons does not use up an action.
You cannot use Items while piloting a Vehicle; you must first leave it.

---

CHARACTER SHEET CREATION:

Each Character starts with 10 Stat Points (12 for Gunners) to allocate. You cannot raise your MOV, and you can put only +5 to one Stat during character creation.

Spoiler: Resource Unit system, for looksies (click to show/hide)

RESOURCE UNITS:

These represent the overall 'price' of equipment. Everything, from vehicle models to weapons to items have its RU price.

RESOURCE BUDGET:

Before start of each Chapter (which might consist of one or more battlemaps), SPOOKS have to equip itself. They are given a certain amount of RU that they can spend on procuring vehicles, weapons and items.
It's up to players to decide between themselves how to best spend their RUs.
Sometimes there might be external issues, which might complicate equipment acquisition; these will be reported and explained in-game.
Each time you return a Vehicle intact or weapon with some ammo still in, you can return them to recover some RUs spent.

Bio:
Lynn is technically classified as a "defector" from the Asian Co-Prosperity Alliance given her 'shift' of allegiance in contrast to her beginning years in training and profession; she personally maintains a neutral disposition towards both the Alliance and the Federation, instead seemingly having motives against war, while aiming to be good at war--she is tight-lipped towards her background, and signed up on confidential terms. She is Asian in descent, borne to a family and raised by communities unaccustomed to firearms; her early exposure to machinery and instruction paired with her cultural work ethic saw her skill grow with perseverance and focus--albeit acclimatized to carrying only as much as she would deem reasonable within any context.

Aiming for infantry support. :3
What weapon rank do we all start out with? E?
