I was definitely considering having it just be cyberspace-based, but I just got off of a Ghost in the Shell binge of the newest series and really wanted to include the physical battlefield as well. I really like the idea of just playing a literal chess game on the other board, though, and using piece capture to activate the programs!

Thanks for the feedback!

• Objective deployment: Yep! Each Company player has 4 Objectives (a mix of physical and Interweb depending on the faction they chose), and deploys them after everyone finishes deploying units
• Hack attacks: Yeah, these are a special type of shooting attack, and can be made on the physical battlefield or the Interweb (where they are the only attack allowed)
• Dying in real life: Exactly! My thought is that it was the unit's "ghost" surviving; A unit can choose to kill off one of their Avatars rather than dying from a wound on the physical battlefield though, so it's probably not the optimal move unless the Interweb avatar is in a prime position for mayhem while the physical unit's effectiveness is not worth keeping.

Thanks! I had originally envisioned the Deadzone cube system, but unfortunately couldn't find my terrain and models for it among my mess of a house at the moment. One day I would love to expand this, especially the factions, Hack programs, and basic units/upgrades available.
