A Billion Suns (Scripted)

Scripted table for "A Billion Suns" by Mike Hutchinson at Planet Smasher Games, published by Osprey Wargames. More info at http://abillionsuns.space

To set up the game, set the scale and use the "Core Contracts" or "Warzone Contracts" button to generate contracts and set up the tables.

The battlegroup spawner is used to create your battlegroups using any model you wish. Just put the model for the ship you want on the pad next to the controls and set your options. There are bags/boxes of various models ship models next to the pad.

If the "Battlegroup Name" you set matches one of the ship class names in the rules, it will auto fill the various values in the battlegroup settings

Setting the "Planetoid" type for the spawned models will tag them to be ranged from the base edge rather than the center.

Once spawned, you will have a controller component to initiate movement and to lock the models into place. Using the "Settings" tab you can set thrust, mass, and weapon ranges. After initiating movement, just pick up the models and move them freely, the scripts will handle the "pivot" automatically and flag ships that are "easy targets" or performed "high-g maneuvers"

Right click on the spawned ships to access controls to show arcs and range bands
