Simple Ground Adventure

Here is a simple, five level ground adventure. There is no combat involved. It strongly resembles a short, siingle-player "Dungeons and Dragons" game, in that type and experience of crew act as multipliers. Each level has a few obstacles that are spelled out pretty simply, as well as 6-sided dice rules. I've left the choices to a minimal to make it work better for a single player. This will result, at its completion, the raw material for a captain's log, and again, five of these missions give a new crew the "Experienced" rating. The Guadalcanal, after five of these, will get the "Veteran" status.

I haven't stopped working on the text-based tactical maps, but I also realized it wasn't required for this. Here is the set-up, rules, and gameplay. The written summary "Captain's Log" will be in a separate post.

-------------------

Presence of CMO removes 1pt damage per crew per level
Presence of Science Officer gets past Jammers, reduces possibilty of damage at entrance/increases damage each crew can sustain from 15 to 20.
Presence of Captain increases damage each crew can sustain from 15 to 25.
Presence of both (max increase) increases damage each crew can sustain to 30
