Yes it can. You can do anything other than add the hexes. You can make damage applied in any way you like. Basically the engine allows you to pretty much any turn based tile based game you can think of.

We only have live and dead states by design but adding in damaged states such as immobilised, weapons destroyed etc could be easily done by a mod. Basically the only limit is your imagination - and time :)

Yes ammo could be easily added as could fuel, ammo dumps, supply units, fuel trucks. You could create a factory unit that could build new units. You could have resource collection. We choose not to do these things because of the design we wanted to create but all this could be done by modders without needing a single line of code added. This is what we designed the engine for - to let you mod it to be anything you want.


Xcom is the inspiration for the gameplay system we have set up. It could easily be modded with a bit of sci-fi art t do that :)

Yes commanders can be added. The entire engine is scripted so anything you can think of can be added.

This really is a fun game, fellas. And in all humility, I have everything Matrix has sold.

I was unlucky to have a DirectX problem that nixed the game editor, and Pip issued a patch in a few hours.

I love SP a la MBT. But the game is so much work sometimes and the resolution phase so long.

In BA, I have never used the save-game key. I just can't stop until I finish the scenario I'm playing.

Also, there are almost 100 attributes for each unit--all of which can be changed by modding one CSV file. And that's just the very beginning.

So it's not as light-weight as it appears. And priced very fairly, I might add.

The opportunity fire logic attempts to preserve shots when there is very little chance of doing any damage (or indeed hitting the target). It might be that in MP the opportunity fire needs to be a little more keen to open up, even at range.

A poster in the Wargamer forum brought up a possible issue with the armour depiction. Apparently, the player can advance a tank from a concealed position, unleash a couple of shots on an enemy tank, and retreat back to cover without fear of opportunity fire. He called it the "armoured vehicle shuffle" and finds it gamey. Or is this a misapprehension?

And how easy is the scripting? Could I take a map from one of the scenarios, add random forces, and borrow a script from one of the scenarios or modify one to make an unpredictable scenario? If so, how easy would this be?
