The Map

/map/Map_Campaign-2023-03-12.jpg /map/Map_Campaign_Legend-2023-03-12.jpg There will be an 8 x 8 hexagonal grid. As we explore the map we will determine the topography of the map. Each hex will have a series of benefits.

Ocean	3	3	0	3

Enhancements

Type	Construction Time	Cost	Benefit
Fortification	1	1	Increase location defence by 1 to a max of 4

Terraforming

Terraforming is the act of changing one terrain type into another. When an Order of Battle performs the terraforming action you have a chance to change the location one step (see the Topography table above) in the direction of your choice.

1: Moves up to two steps to Dessert or Volcano which ever is closer Order of Battle's remaining actions are lost.

2: Failure nothing happens Order of Battle's remaining actions are lost.

3: Failure nothing happens.

4-5: Moves one step in direction of choice.

6: Moves up to two steps in direction of choice.

Landing Location

Upon landing on this planet choose a location that is unexplored and roll on to determine the topography.

Count out the typography of the adjacent tiles and assign the face of a D6 if not all face are assigned this way continue up the table from the highest and looping around if necessary.

For example:

• If the tile has no explored adjacent locations the roll would be
  1. Mountain
  2. Hill
  3. Forest
  4. Plain
  5. Desert
  6. Ocean
• If there are two mountain and one forest the roll would be
  1. Mountain
  2. Mountain
  3. Forest
  4. Plain
  5. Desert
  6. Ocean
