How is GridWars different from other games?

There are several elements that make GridWars a next-generation wargame. The scenarios have RPG elements with a cool story behind them. Your goal during the game will not be simply destroying enemy units (although it helps) but rather stealing crucial computer data, escorting a prototype car, or saving the world by stopping an atomic explosion. That’s why having units that have access to high hacking or engineering statistics will be as crucial as rolling with the heavy hitters. Hacking allows the player to manipulate the environment by activating sentry guns, reconnaissance through cameras, or even locking enemies in buildings with trap doors. With high engineering you are able to collect material and then build and deploy powerful reinforcements throughout the game - the drones, assault machines, and even full-scale mechs. The most strategic feature is the custom dice linked with an Energy system. Basically, for each round, players generate a pool of energy that they can distribute among their units in any way they see fit. This energy can be spent during the round to improve the attack and defense rolls.
