Dwarf Tactics minigame

hi there, this is rob-jr and i love to create boardgame and stuff especially minigame (game that is simple and play for around less than 10 minutes). what i have here is a remade game that i did somewhere early last year 2007, me and my brother tweak the system a bit, because last time it is way unbalance, but it doesn't mean these game is balance. don't worry just play the game and have fun.



HOW TO PLAY

here is how to play the game, this game is for 2 player, each act as the dwarf chief try to defend each castle and at the same time try to eliminate opponent's castle. you start with 10 castle point and resource at Lv 1 (which is 4 resource) and you need atleast 2 six sided dice, game is played in turn. play rock, paper, scissor to determine first player.

game is divided in phase

RESOURCE PHASE
at this phase, you replenish your resource to the value of your level. anyway resource that you didn't used that turn will go to waste. so use it wisely.

*there are 3 level of resource, each increase by 2. you start at 4 resource,

Lv 1 = 4 resource
Lv 2 = 6 resource (you need to pay 4 resource to upgrade to Lv 2)
Lv 3 = 8 resource (you need to pay 6 resource to upgrade to Lv 3)

BUY PHASE
at this phase you buy unit. refer to units cost in the battle stats card. you can put maximum of 5 unit in your unit placement and you can only buy maximum of 5 unit of peon, 4 unit of warrior and 3 unit of juggernaut.

BATTLE PHASE
battle phase is where you try to eliminate opponent and if opponent doesnt have units, you attack his/her castle directly. (for balance issue, you cant attack on the first turn of the game if youre the 1st player) before attacking, attacker choose which of his/her unit attack which opponent's unit. 1 unit can only attack 1 unit.

peon = roll 2d6 pick the lowest value
warrior = roll 1d6
juggernaut = roll 2d6 pick the highest value

both attacker and defender roll dice according to each unit and compare the result.

if attacker result is equal or higher than defending unit, attacker killed the defender unit. if defending unit is higher, defender won and attacker retreat (nothing happen).

if there is no defending unit, attacker roll dice for each unit and that damage is dealt to opponent's castle point.

END PHASE
you end your phase, now its opponent's turn to attack.

VICTORY
you win when you successfully reduce opponent's castle points to zero.

p/s: my english is quite sucky here... also, this game still need to be tweak and all. so comment and critique is welcome.

VARIATION 1: this time around you can use resource to buy other stuff instead of unit

pay 1 resource for 1 castle point
pay 1 resource to add +1 to a unit before combat/battle

NEW UNIT!
Dwarven Sapper (cost 4 resources) contributed by questing gm
Digs underground and can attack the castle without going through the defense unit.

Roll a d6
1-4: Sapper dies, deals no damage to the castle.
5-6: Sapper dies, deals 1 castle damage.
