DAMOCLES system and Red Block Army Lists

Last Friday we started testing the 1st draft of the DAMOCLES system. The idea behind this system is to allow for a fast and elegant way to set up a battlefield for the AT-43 game. At this moment is limited to a battle between two players, but in the future it could be that it could accommodate more players.
The two corner stones of the system are:
  1. the deployment of terrain elements and tactical markers (access zones, VPs and RPs)
  2. the implementation of a random system for victory conditions and game objectives based on cards.
For the play testing of the system I was feeling a bit more open minded about the composition of the Army List and I prepared the following four. Note that the system requires for each player to prepare three Army List in advance and to select one of them after the setting up of the game.
