A Post-Apocalyptic Turn Based Strategy Game - Cryptic Comet

Armageddon Empires
Resistance: Each facility has a resistance which indicates how
much damage is negated by unconventional attacks such as
nuclear, concussion, or nanite damage. Depending on the type of
attack, the resistance can either be subtracted directly from the
special attack damage or generate a random number between 1
and the resistance.
Structure Points: This number represents the amount of
damage that a facility can sustain before being removed from
the game. Facilities receive damage during challenges when the
opponent’s attack die roll exceeds a facility’s defense die roll.
The difference in the rolls is applied as damage. Facilities can be
“repaired” by expending action points and resources.
Special Abilities: Many facilities have some special abilities
that set them apart from others. Some abilities allow resource
collection or generation while others grant Action Point bonuses.
See the appendix at the end of the manual for a full description of
all the facility special abilities.
Number of Upgrades: Indicates the number of upgrades if
any that can be made to a facility.
Cards in Armory: Some facilities may have an “armory special
ability” that allows cards to be withdrawn from the facility
in exchange for paying action points. The number of cards
remaining is indicated here.
Exert Control: Facilities exert control in a hex even if there are no
armies of the faction located in the hex. Facilities without any armies
to guard them are extremely vulnerable and can be captured or
destroyed as appropriate if an enemy army enters the hex.
Resource Cost: To deploy a facility to the game board you must
pay its resource cost indicated by the colored icons on the side of the
facility’s card. In addition to paying the resource cost you must pay
Action Points (AP) equal to half the total number of resource points.

NOTE: One special type of facility know as a “collector” can
be constructed by any hero card and any unit card with the
“engineer” special ability. Collector facilities have special abilities
that allow for the harvesting of resources at the beginning of
each turn. Like facilities played to the board from the player’s
hand, only one of the same collector card can exist at any base.
Attack Cards: Attack cards represent aircraft, hoverships, helos
and missiles that can attack enemy armies and facilities directly.
Attack cards are played straight to the board from a player’s hand
and after the attack “challenge” is resolved return to the player’s
hand. The exception to this rule is missiles which are discarded
after an attack. Missiles can be created by heroes with the
“technologist” special ability so they can be replenished in that
manner. Multiple copies of an attack card can be added to a deck
and once eliminated an attack card is sent to the discard pile.
Attack cards are limited to a certain number of copies per deck
indicated on the attack card’s menu entry in the “Create/Edit Deck
Menu.” Attack cards all have the following key attributes:
Attack Type: An attack card can be one of three types: aircraft,
helo or missile. The attack type determines how the attack card
functions. Aircraft and helos return to a players hand after an
attack. Aircraft have longer ranges than helos but must use
strongholds and outposts to determine range to a target while
helos may attack from hexes controlled by friendly non-stealthed
combat capable armies that are in supply. Missiles can only attack
enemy facilities and are discarded after an attack but can be built
by your heroes.
Attack Die Strength: Each attack card has an attack die
strength that ranges from 1 to 10. When an aircraft, helo or missile
card attacks during a combat challenge the card usually uses its
attack die strength modified by attachment bonuses. Each attack
