How do you think battles should be won?

[Nait]

I say war could be fought with units, dice and MONEY.

Money, so's you can't fight all the time.

Units, so's there's a tactical aspect, a regulatory aspect, and so forth,

And dice, so's wars could go either way - and even small states would have chances.

Armies (units), would be in a territory or other, and would attack other territories and/or armies, and they'd, depending on their size, number and competence, would cost money, which would be gathered depending on what kind of state is in question.
Every turn, players would send all their commands to their armies, and they all would be played at the same time, by the moderators, who would give us a general report, and secret reports to individual members.
