Looks like there is plenty of interest, so I've started doing some major work for it.
This would be a strategy game of sorts. You are a commander of an army, and you have to choose the mixture of units and tactical options that you take into battle against the other players. Between rounds you will get money to retrain/heal your old troops, buy new ones, and get more tactical options, etc.
After each battle you will gain Glory, which is used to score the players on how well they are doing.
Each battle will be simulated by a script I'm working on, and you will get a battle report afterwords that describes what happens. So this game is more about strategic decisions than the actual combat itself.
Basics:
Knight:
Name: Sir [insert name here]
Command: This adds to the number of troops that you can support.
Tactics: This adds to the number of tactical options you can use and is used to determine who chooses battlefield selection
You have 5 points that you can distribute between Command and Tactics. All Knights have 3+ Command in units they can support and 3+ Tactics in Tactical options they can take
In combat, all units of the smaller army will fight. Any units left over with the larger army are considered Reserve units. Reserve units can either Flank (Add their strength to the strength of a unit in combat) or a Tactical option can be used to bring them into combat. Flanking does not require a tactical option, but only two units can flank in a round.
Combat will go until one army is below half strength. If both armies are below half strength after a round, the one with higher strength wins
Below are the units and tactical options I have ready so far.
