Tony's boss: "Tony, we've got a tough one for you. We want you to write a game of futuristic ground combat, aimed at a brighter audience than the Warhammer crowd." Tony: "Gee, that sounds pretty eas^h^h^h...tough." TB: "We want it to be kind of turn based, kind of simultaneous movement. Lord knows how you're going to solve that, but we're counting on you." Tony: "Kind of an integrated turn sequence, so to speak? Alternating activations within a turn?" TB: "Exactly! Brilliant. And we need for you to design models for the tanks and infantry. Now, we may even go so far as to have some sort of metal playing pieces licensed, so you'll need to find out what kinds of things not only look good on a screen, but can also be cast." Tony: "Well sir, I've got a pretty--" TB: "Pretty full plate, I know, but we're relying on you. We've hired a masseuse to help you deal with the stress...and of course there's a major bonus if you can pull this off."
