Hello Jamm:

Meant to mention earlier that someone created a series of template documents for the layout of firefights. See:

Looks like you came up with your own.

He is also developing a scenario design toolkit:

Thanks Jerry,
From what I'm reading, it looks like those take a lot more work with digital pictures and so forth.
I was able to whip up a template in about an hour after studying COH firefight cards, so future cards should be a snap.

Another scenario being tested

Hello Jamm:

Does rubble block LOS? And do you have debris too (I have a faint recollection of this from ASL).

Thanks,

Gerry

Hey Jerry,
Yes the rubble blocks LOS
There is a lot of debris on the Red Barricades map but if I recall it only hinders movement and may bog vehicles.
I didn't have a coh terrain tile for that effect so I left it out.
For the stone rubble I used the stone ruins tile which hinders movement, +2AP foot and +4AP tracked with chance of immobilization, +2 Def modifier
For wood rubble I used the wood ruins tile which is +2AP foot and +3AP tracked, +1 Def modifier
Both allow no wheeled movement
I could've added a bunch of debris for show with no underlying effects like the shellholes, but I figured it might clutter things up too much and become a bit confusing.
So any of the hexes which show rubble, have the corresponding terrain effect.
