For those who have looked at it, Battleplan is an evolution of my Step research mod with both drasticaly simplified concepts and use of unused regular concepts (like speed and I hope commanders).
In short: simple straight tech-tree, uniform weapon branches, speed modifiers, uniform defenses, cyborgs and VTOLs. The objective is a short learning curve with 100% usefull stuff while staying rather close to the original (but still different).
In long, read the manual or just try it
alpha 0.9, the mod is near from beta state, lacking some Human to human games to validate the game (re)design. The IA is also doing rather bad. I'm sometime on IRC and will be happy for a try, I'm also trying to make LAN games (in France)
