If the enemy team uses a restriction against you and you break the rule of the restriction, you will give the enemy team points = the match value (will happen for every infraction/time it occurs).
number of times a restriction was broken x the Match Point Value = points given to the enemy team
Examples:
lets say that you are in a side mission. the side missions are worth 1 point each. a restriction was used on the match and was not stopped somehow. if that restriction was "no speeders" (the no 'chosen unit' restriction is for 5 rounds i believe) and someone on your team built a speeder in round 4, then your team will have given the enemy +1 POINTS for every time it happened before the round timer (it will not apply at round 6).
If your team messed up and built 2 speeders (in the same scenario) before round 6 (restriction is 5 rounds in this example) then you will have given the enemy team +2 POINTS (2 speeders made, side mission is worth 1 point each).
perhaps you are in the midway match and the restriction was NO TITANS. If anyone on your team chose titans (the race restrictions are for the full match) then the enemy team will be given +2 POINTS (midway match is worth 2 points). If more than 1 player chose titans, the enemy team will get +2 points for each player that broke the restriction.
How roles work:
Each team will have 5 players with roles linked to their player name. I keep track of this information. The roles are determined before the war begins, and will not change ever after that point.
Depending on what the role is, there is a special ability that can be used to help the war.
When it comes time to have any match THAT IS NOT THE MAIN, each Captain will give me one name of a player on their team who will be in the match for certain. the rules described above explain if a player can be selected or not (already in a mission= no)
If the chosen player has a role/ability I will ask the Captain if they wish to use that ability against the match which is about to be setup. This is part of determining how each mission/match is setup.
Each role ability can only be used 1 time. if it is used, it can no longer be used again for the remainder of the war and the effects will be applied to the match being set up.
If you have a role you are encouraged to act like that person. The captain doesn't have to use your ability when he chooses you and it can be kept secret. (similar to the MAFIA game)

CLARIFICATIONS-----
Think of this war as a team tournament. Other than the final battles, every match will be setup with 12 hour turn limits and skipping is permitted as necessary. Stiff penalties for surrender unless final battle.
Games must be archived and replays shared.
Missions are meant to be brief matches. Quick combat. The faster they are finished, the faster the soldiers are again available for other missions.
The option to use a role ability or even have a certain role is not linked or dependent on the presence of another role on the team.
The outcome of a strike, if one occurs, is not determined by a dice roll. For now, what the strike is is a secret.
If you are the player who makes a match/mission and invites the others, you may decide the order (player slot) for the enemy combatants in that match.
Matches will not have any race restrictions unless told otherwise before the setup. Similarly, all matches will have fog of war unless otherwise stated. All matches will be team matches, NO FFA.
USE OF ALL UNIT TYPES IS ALLOWED FOR ANY MATCH, unless otherwise stated before it is setup.
Should any MAIN battle last long enough to make it to round 60 (of the player who started it, player 1), ALL players will "peace" out of the match and the replay war report will be used to determine the winner.
The tie-breaker or end by max rounds winner calculation will be as follows:
TEAM WAR REPORT STATES:
(Credits Killed / Credits Lost) = Kill/Death ratio
(Credits Spent / Total Rounds) = Round Spend Factor
(Total Rounds Played) = Match Length Factor
(Player Status) = Any Defeated players
PERFORMANCE CALCULATION:
(Round Spend Factor * K/D) = Return On Investment (how well your team played/used credits in the battle)
(ROI / Total Rounds) = Battle Evaluation Factor
(BEF * ALIVE PLAYERS[1-4] / (Team Size[4]) = FINAL SCORE (this is the final number for determining who wins. the highest number wins. players alive is relative to each team. losing team members by defeat/elimination is penalizing)
If the outcome still remains a TIE after this calculation (very unlikely) neither team will acquire the Match Point Value.
Additional clarifications may be added to this post as necessary during the war.

The scout disabling the fow does make the whole field visible for everyone.. however, in some matches this ability can give an extreme edge when using titans. Even more so if you have used the NO TITANS restriction card against the enemy team. The restriction cards once played will only affect the opposing team.. NOT the team that plays the card. In the above example scenario, a scout on the team can be very powerful.

The captain will be the captain and play that part all throughout the war. Even if he is on a mission he will be present in the administrative match. This will be a 3p ffa match with 72hr turn limit. The sole purpose of this match is so captains can vocalize their decisions in plain view of myself and the other captain.
The roles themselves are limited to 5 additional. So 5 players from each team will have one of these roles. I will monitor this and regulate it.
Each mission will be either 1v1 or 2v2, but before they begin the captains must give me one players name who will be in the match for certain. If this person has a special role ability the captain can choose to use the ability or not at this time. Think of the role abilities as "cards" in your hand to be played to give you an edge in the war. The Captains will consider when to use them.
Any players away on mission can't be selected if another one comes up and that first mission isn't finished yet. Anybody not on mission is able to be chosen when the time comes. Make clever use of your forces. This is an important captain decision. The Lieutenants can monitor any game not involving the captain to ensure the other team is following the game rules.

The way this all comes together, EVERY WAR IS UNIQUE. 4 dice are rolled for random selections. They can trigger BONUS and JACKPOT outcomes. Each mission has a roll, and depending on how many missions occur during the war increases the possible outcomes! (current count of possibilities in is the quadrillions)
Although the war has started, I am working on additional maps which will be options for the 6 mission types during the event. These maps will have the same rules but add more depth to the available missions.
The 6 mission types are as follows:
EXTRACTION
In this mission, one team is ambushed by the enemy. The only option is escaping the battlefield. The criteria for how to escape will be explained in the map description.
ASSASSINATION
In this mission, one team has a VIP (very important person) they need to protect. The enemy team must kill him within the time frame to win. The VIP will be a single unit.
RESUPPLY
In this mission, teams will fight each other for resources. Whichever team sits ON TOP OF the most cities by the end of the match will win. Ties will be broken by the Tie-breaker calculation on page 3.
SUDDEN DEATH
In this mission, losing even 1 base will mean a loss.
RACE
In this mission, teams will race each other for control of a strategic territory. The first to get their flag raised will win.
BLACK OPERATION
In this mission, one team will be in control of a base on the battlefield. The enemy team will need to work quickly to overwhelm the base and gain control within the time frame.

Restrictions will be private. Only the team captain and the controller will know who has which cards.
Possible Restrictions to Impose on the Enemy - (Rcards)
* NO TANK BUSTERS- 5 TURNS
* NO NAVAL UNITS (INCLUDES AMPHIBIOUS)- 5 TURNS
* NO TITANS ALLOWED- FULL MATCH
* NO SAPIENS ALLOWED- FULL MATCH
* NO KHRALIENS ALLOWED- FULL MATCH
* NO UNIT(Choice) ALLOWED- 5 TURNS
** Random chance to obtain a special card: Restrict specific player from participation in middle battle or final battle.**
Rules of engagement for restrictions:
1. Restrictions cannot be "stacked". This means that they cannot be used more than 1 per match.
2. If a race restriction is not possible due to locked race selection on a map it does not apply. It will not be used, it will remain available for future use.
3. "Round limited" restrictions may only be used at the very beginning of a match. Then, when a player views their war report, if it says "round 6" the restriction no longer applies to them beyond that turn. If you are the effected team, you must wait until you see "round 6" on your turn in your war report to continue that round without restriction.
4. The use of a restriction, and how it is used (what unit type, if applicable), MUST be clearly stated by the initiating captain in the administration match.
5. Failure to follow the rule of a restriction, for its duration, will award the enemy team points based on the match involved. If you want to win the war, don't give the enemy points for not following this simple rule.
6. Because restriction cards may be obtained by mission match outcomes, the cards may not be used for the main battle ever. They may be used in subsequent instances, or the intermediary battle, or even the final battle.
