I want to write but I can't be bothered.

@MikefromEP: Yes, but I'm meaning something else.

@KiwiDan: What are you trying to write?

@MikefromEP: It's a game idea (another one). I have a very basic idea I'm trying to write down, but I can't seem to express it very well. Or at all, really.

@KiwiDan: What kind of game

@MikefromEP: Miniatures game.

@KiwiDan: Continue please

@MikefromEP: The idea is (roughly) that a unit can become pinned down by the number of attacks used against it. This would have some sort of negative impact upon the unit in question and make them less effective.

@KiwiDan: A war game based on The Lost Platoon?

@MikefromEP: Kind of. It's an idea that I've been fiddling with for a while now, since I got into designing my own games. The idea comes from the video game series Brothers in Arms.

@KiwiDan: Never heard of the video game.. but i watched Brothers in Arms

@MikefromEP: In the games, the core concept is using suppression and applying tactics to overwhelm enemy units.

@KiwiDan: So thinking of a game using psychological suppression?

@MikefromEP: Pretty much, yes.

@KiwiDan: So you are looking more for a conscious design?

@MikefromEP: Kind of, yes. Every game I've encountered that deals with the idea of suppression/pinning bases it on being hit, which isn't exactly what I want.

@KiwiDan: Describe it more then

@MikefromEP: You shoot at an enemy, they become Suppressed. If the number of attacks exceeds their morale, they become pinned. Suppressed units can't move and shoot with a -1 penalty to hit; a pinned unit cannot do anything.

@KiwiDan: Have you looked at the Vietnam war with the tunnels..

@MikefromEP: No......
