Alright, this is the map. Emeralis is RED, while Megaolix is BLUE.

Please note where your units start. All of the starting positions have no cover, and none of the light green tiles do either. The darker green tiles offer a small amount of cover and make your unit more difficult to hit. Keep that in mind when selecting your starting tile, okay?

For now, this should work to tell which grids you mean.

Red 2 takes two damage, and is sent rocking from the impact, but doesn't seem injured.

Emeralis?

All three shooting at L.

 

Lily takes one damage. Winged, but not downed.

 

Red 1 gets blasted into a horrified mess, sparking and leaking both fuel and circuitry.

Red 2 takes the hits and is now clearly injured.

Emeralis turn.

Final result, Emeralis takes down Mega's sniper, but mega takes the victory.

Analysis

Mega had numbers advantage, which is massive in this; he could simply out-shoot me. That, and getting to go first let him get to his firing position from cover first.

I had expected a longer fight and kitted out my soldiers with extra ammo. Big mistake as I had the money to easily support more body armor instead, which really helped inf2.

Spending both actions on firing is very powerful. Range is really irrelevant on a map this size, I did way too much movement, I should have just moved into cover and continued to shoot. Cover is very helpful.


Other comments
Targeting sensors seems pretty useless, I don't see why you would need to ability to use two weapons. I should not have bought it.
I'd recommend limiting it to one attack per soldier per turn.

 

Personal notes:

Remember to make edits on weapons. Assault Rifle is slightly wrong, and I think there were different critical factors I meant to put in. Need to decide on more weapons, too.

Visibility is going to be a pain implementing, I remember that.

For low-budget squads, things will likely be resolved before spare ammo becomes relevant. Infantry are cheap and disposable as soldiers, even a fantastic one goes down easy.

Accuracy mods are too powerful for standard infantry. Also, can't leave all the mods at the same cost. Need to tweak that.

Need to make the maps bigger, or tamper with ranges. Rifle can hit everywhere from everywhere inside its range and with no penalties. Just a test-bed, but that stands out.

Ideally, future things will carry squad units across multiple missions. Need to implement a retreat feature, so players have to decide whether to cut their losses and run, or hang around to hurt the opposition as much as possible. Must get players attached to their units... needs more moe. Easier with better visuals, hm. Far future: high image and decoration customization? Palette swaps and doodats, differing hairstyles and hats. Lots of hats. All the hats.

Further incentive to keep troops alive: leveling? Survive missions, increase stats. Chosen or random?

Crit chips are just giggles, but I need to work on a bunch more. Need more Things.

Need to work on more in-depth objectives than just 'kill everyone not on your side'. Collect objective, bypass area undetected, plant a package, destroy specific target... some of these, probably going to have to wait on visibility and line of sight coming back. More mods, expand sight radius, local radar? Need more Things.

More than two commanders? needs bigger maps. Much bigger. Lazied out on this one.

Character interaction beyond bullets = Zero. Going to be difficult adjusting that.
