Mission Generation

To generate a mission for players to go on, roll for the battlefield size and determine the mission to be played.

Battlefield Size

A player rolls on the table below. Then players fill up the table with terrain, being sure that the terrain fills up at least half the battlefield when pushed together. Additionally, the terrain should grant at least three stories for fighters to explore. Make it as interesting as possible.
