The 20x20 version 2.0 Feedback Thread

[Prophet_of_Doom]

I just eradicated a pretty embarrassing and confusing typo: In Escort Warcor (a pretty cool mission which took me a while to hammer out, so please give it a try!) the warcors are of course deployed together with the other troopers of each army. 

Also I noticed that I had not specified in every mission that objective markers are placed before deployment. But I guess that is obvious to everyone. 

20x20 is a one man show. I have learned to read very quickly during my university time just scanning for the most important bits. This has the unfortunate side effect that I may overlook details, especially if I have written the text myself and know what it should mean.

This last problem could be mitigated, I guess, if you've allowed some folks to proofread a beta-version for you.

[Prophet_of_Doom]

Oh, Didn t I invite people to proofread? I guess I was too timid to clearly ask someone.
Please, you, Errhile, and everybody else are still very much invited to do so. The more eyes, the better.

I am amazed about how many mistakes I find in a 32 page document that is being used by people around the world who do give me some feedback.

Okay, I guess that first change I'd like to suggest is including a Civilian's statline in the scenarios that use civvies.

I mean, civvie statline is in the HS, and HS only. You don't always carry the physical book with you to the game...

Also, regarding Escape with Dropship:
1. It remains unclear for me - can virtually anyone repair the dropship, or only Specialist Troops (still at -6 WIP, save for Engineers)?
2. Do Unconscious models on board (let's assume somebody else carried them inside) of the dropship count for Objective Points once it is launched successfully? Disabled models? Immobilised models? And what about models running under activated Dogged rule?

Investigate Alien Artifact:
artifact effect #3 (EM Grenade analog) - it is somewhat unclear if troops under the template can or cannot attempt to Dodge. Would be good to clarify that.

I have considered this, and there is some vital stats of the civvies in Save the Scientists.
It is probably a good idea to include the stats in the rules section. Putting them into every scenario would take up too much space.

FAAARKKK..... Thank you. This is exactly what I am talking about. Just did not see that word "engineering" anymore. This mission has seen a lot of changes.

The answers are:
1) Any model can try to repair the ship, just in order to stay true to the principles of 20x20.

2) Only active troopers. I just forgot to write that word. The text says that dogged troopers do not count. It would of course not hurt if unconscious or immobile troopers count, but I decided not to make it too convoluted.

Since they get an ARO, they may dodge. I clarified it.

All changes have been made and the document updated. Your help is much appreciated.

Easy, I'll continue looking for that kind of stuff

I just changed the document following Errhiles suggestions.

In all secondary missions requiring the use of markers, the markers are now specified to be 25mm and S0.

the new secondary mission "Photograph the enemy" has been changed to be more specific on the use of cameras on the battlefield.

Rewording of one sentence in the simply awesome scenario Ïntercept Enemy Communication". The rewording does not change the mission a bit, we just believe it will get rid of possible misunderstandings. Try this mission, it is my favourite of all the 20 primary missions.
