Battle Masters
« on: October 03, 2008, 07:43:38 PM »
I've made us a game, or rather, brought an old one online. Battle Masters is an Internet-based implementation of an old one-on-one miniatures wargame. It uses Gametable and a few PHP scripts. It's currently the closest I've got to actually finishing making a video game.



Download
Gametable v2.0 RC2: http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=147262
Map: http://www.elitebeatagency.com/battle/battlemasters.zip
Pogs: http://www.elitebeatagency.com/battle/pogs.zip
Underlays: http://www.elitebeatagency.com/battle/underlays.zip

You need at least the latest Gametable and Java installed to play. To host a game you need to download the map, pogs and underlays.

Empty the pogs into your pogs directory and underlays into the underlays directory. The map supplied includes one of each unit units to the top left: clear these before your play. They're included so that anyone who connects to your gametable can auto-download the pogs and underlays, and can save out the map for themself.

Rules

What boards/character sets have you implemented? I think one of those is hidden in my closet somewhere.

I have both the standard Imperial and Chaos armies (as Large army) and the Imperial Lords / Champions of Chaos expansion sets (as Medium army). I've also listed the unit points values given in the expansion sets.

I've given it two playtests with the Medium army. Burrito enjoyed it, and gave the thumbs up. Zara grumbled when the cards were against him early on, but won anyway.

Holy shit, Hasbro/Games Workshop Battlemasters.  I WANT TO PLAY THIS!  DOWNLOADING.  JD, get on my IM list.

EDIT:

Given a little time, I can probably scan in some tiles.  I have a copy of the game still.
