I'd probably put the movement power first, since movement comes before attack.

Glad we were able to sort out how the designated spaces would work! We probably need to try to help figure out symbols for the spaces. Maybe just a gun for the Auto Gun and more of a Cannon icon for the other special?

Do you have a mini picked out yet? Are we worried that 4 seems a bit low in height?

I do have a mini. It is 4 in height, but anything else I've seen bigger is bigger in all dimensions and won't on a double space. I'll post some pictures up today

[IAmBatman]

For sure. I wonder if we should "fudge" the height to meet thematic expectations even if the mini itself isn't that exact height.

I did that with the Vertical Jump Jet, but based on the precedent of the Green Construct Tactical Bomber.

I'm fine with that. I couldn't find appropriate size jets either and have something a little smaller.

What size do you think is right for a tank, Large 6?

[IAmBatman]

Assuming those action figures are "Medium 5" then probably 6 or 7, yeah.

Why not just use a plastic tank that come in the bags of army men?

Used to have a few of those! They might be too big to maneuver on a map though. (At least the size that I used to have)

[IAmBatman]

I've got the ones that come with the Stealth Bomber construct and the Vertical Jump Jet. I'll try to take some pictures of what they look like on hexes tonight.

This design looks great
