Default Re: Long Solo Game Bail Out Problem

Yes I think it would have to be the grid. Too much of the battle results relies on positions, weapon length, area affects, etc.

The "overflow" (or probably just "left behind") thing might be ok.

Maybe, as long as something has to be done anyway, Johan might work in terrain info. The provinces have terrain settings such as mountain, woods, plains. And also settings for large and small which is only used to figure population I think. Maybe the game could figure out that a small woods province wont support the size of army battles that a large plains province would. That would add another layer of strategy to the game.
