*** HISTORY/CHANGE LOG ***
======================================================================================

-- Pre 2/19/2011

The original battle system was suppose to support
mostly large-scale conflicts only. However, because
the scripter vanished and YDS decided to be more
self-reliant, the game has been toned-down to
become something more like Suikoden 2 with a
hint of Final Fantasy 4HOL.

======================================================================================
*** EXPLANATION ***
======================================================================================

- SKIRMISH: Regular battles, plays like a many JRPG battles, there is a limit of five
   turns and it returns back to the pre-battle screen

- SKIRMISH FEATURES:
	*** Fire: Uses the character's musket to blast a powerful shot
	    however, it takes three turns to recharge. No AP.

	*** Attack: Attack with whatever weapon you have. How much AP it saps
	    depends on the weapon

	*** Abilities: uses abilities unique to each class - each will sap AP points

	*** Defend: Recharges AP

- CONFLICTS: See diagram


======================================================================================
*** COMMANDS ***
======================================================================================
NOTE: Each battle begins with 2 AP per character
