Open Battle Tactics 🛡️🎲

An open-source recreation and tactical engine inspired by the classic Super Battle Tactics.

📖 Overview

Open Battle Tactics is a turn-based strategy game where you command a squad of tanks. The twist? Your damage and initiative are determined by spinning wheels (dice rolls) each turn. You must use Action Points (AP) wisely to boost your tanks' rolls or activate special abilities to turn the tide of battle.

This project aims to preserve the gameplay mechanics of the original game while providing a modern, web-based engine for tactical battles.

✨ Features

• Tactical Combat: 4v4 Tank battles with positioning mechanics.
• RNG Management: "Risk vs Reward" gameplay. Roll for damage, then spend AP to boost low rolls.
• Data-Driven: Units and stats are loaded from extracted JSON data (based on the original game database).
• Web Tech: Built with Phaser 3 and Vite.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v16 or higher)
• npm

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/maelemiel/open-battle-tactics.git
   cd open-battle-tactics

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Run the development server:

   npm run dev

4. Open your browser at http://localhost:5173 (or the URL shown in the terminal).

🎮 How to Play

1. Deployment Phase:

   • The game automatically rolls the dice for all tanks at the start of the turn.
   • You have 3 Action Points (AP).
   • Click on a Tank to Boost it (Spending 1 AP).
   • Boosting sets the tank's roll to its Maximum potential + 2 (Critical Hit!).

2. Combat Phase:

   • Click the FIGHT button when you are ready.
   • Tanks attack in order of Initiative (Highest Roll goes first).
   • Damage deals direct HP loss. If HP reaches 0, the tank is destroyed.

3. Victory:

   • Destroy all enemy tanks to win!
