The concept is that you get to design your own squads and pitch them against other players in a sandbox environment. 1. The squads could be built using any vehicles you already had in DW:T (so that's ones you import from your gang, plus ones you have designed from scratch in the DW:T event editor). 2. The characters could come from a stock list. 3. The combats would be carried out by mutual agreement with another player: you challenge them, nominating a map, max CR and your squad; then they accept with their own squad. The combat starts immediately.

*sam* Posted May 29, 2009, 7:04 am	In addition, of course. You know I don't like throwing away stuff I have already made The way I'd describe the variations are: 1. What we have now is really a 'gamesmaster' approach, where a single person controls a scenario or series of them, and they have total control of everything in the set-up. 2. The proposed variation is more like a sandbox 'challenge' system where you're pitting your own squad designs against other players'
