War encounter
A War encounter is a short, scripted municipal rehearsal in War Squirrels. It resolves a fixed squad's lane assignments and chosen tactic against a visible opponent formation.
- Squad
- One fixed three-squirrel template
- Lanes
- Three numbered and labelled lanes
- Tactics
- Two choices for the encounter
- Resolution
- Watchable or readable in 60 to 120 seconds
- Possible results
- Win or rehearsal retreat
Plan
Encounter planning combines a prebuilt three-squirrel squad, the opposing scripted formation, terrain, three lane assignments, and Tactic A or B. Counter text, terrain, class roles, and tactic effects are visible before confirmation.
Resolution
An unconfirmed plan can be cancelled without cost. Once confirmed, the encounter resolves through a watchable or readable sequence, and the result explains the class, tactic, terrain, and counter contributions for each lane.
Results
A War encounter concludes with either a win or a rehearsal retreat and the decorative War campaign Memento. The result returns to the farm after the municipal rehearsal.
