Subject: [AAR] Forced posture change
First fractionally-baked idea on this. Troops can have one of five
statuses ("stati"? better call it Postures) which dictates what they will do
when they're not being ordered otherwise:
--Charging On
--Sneaking Toward
--Staying Hidden
--Beating Retreat
--Running Off
(for those of you who don't own StarGrunt, these were picked to make use of
existing SG counters)
The commander can give a limited number of orders per turn to change his units
postures; when a unit takes fire, it tends to drop to a lower posture
[mechanism to be determined]. This way you can have green-but-gungho
troops getting into trouble unless the commander keeps an eye on them (echos
of DBA's IrKnF, anyone?).
