Ground Combat Expansion

[Klauss]

Very good idea.

I can even imagine that on-planet facilities are placed automatically by the computer on this board while generating the map. These facilities could be victims of attacks, bombardements, fallout or whatever.

The only problem I see is that troops are very cheap and you can built a lot of them at the cost of virtually nothing.

This could hinder and bog down effective ground combat. Remember that in space combat you cannot have so many ships because of maintenance costs.
A solution could be to give units (and thus troopers) maintenance costs too.

The amount of squares of a planet should depend on its size.

Ps: I liked star general too (not the space system but the ground system). Also good is IMO the Fadings Suns system.
