Charts for move costs, defense Mod's, etc..

Post by Sprocket62 »

I found 2 charts that have move costs, terrain defense modifiers, etc.. Much easier to refer to than the manual. The site I found them on is http://sites.google.com/site/toawredux/. The info seems to be correct. Is there a more "official" place to find things like this? I looked on the Matrix TOAW locations, perhaps I missed it.

Don't forget that under 3.4 defender boni are now calculated as a combination of deployment and terrain. (Square root of the sum of Squares).

So these charts are no more valid for 3.4.

EDIT: This is also partially true for the supply penalties of some terrain (marsh). With the old supply rules this was and still is 66%. Under the new supply rules supply is calculated entirely on MPs, there's no more a terrain penalty per se for supply.

Many thanks, the charts make things easier for this new recruit. That makes the site offical then. As far as 3.4 goes, are the values in the chart still valid as long as I take the deployment into consideration? Same for supply. I'de hate to toss the chart completely. I use a laptop with a 15.6" screen, so it's nice to have the hard copy of the chart handy rather than bounce around between various windows.

Yes.

Except those for supply effects for certain terrain types. With the new supply rules there is no more a penalty like i.e. the -33% for being in marsh terrain. Supply is still bad in marsh etc as it's dependent on the amount of MPs needed for such terrain.
