Default Re: Action Points? Encumbrance? What?

Jim,

As nearly as I can tell, your post relies implicitly on the assumption that attacking always costs 12 AP. I don't think this is correct. As near as I can tell, attacking costs your full movement allowance, after accounting for armor but before counting Quickness. Units with a Limp still attack once per round. I keep fairly careful track of these things because I'm into zero-net-encumbrance units that stay at the same fatigue levels for 20-30 rounds at a time. If they were attacking less frequently because of armor weight their fatigue would drop, and it doesn't.

P.S. And yes, AP is definitely affected by encumbrance. You can watch it change as you put armor on a commander. I think this is mentioned in the mod manual.
