The hammer of war (Open/sign ups)

Though now that I am thinking about it I think only half your people could double shoot, the other half is more then half it's range away

[Firstaria]

yeah there isn't.

also I can't tell how many sluggas have died cos you haven't specified anything when rolling, next time in the posts could you say what you're shooting at and who with please just because it makes it a lot easier if something like this happens.

Erm it's labeled shoot the sluggas, and unknown double shoot then smite. I had 8 at the start.

8-1 at the first turn, -4 now...wow, still THREE? I'm the most ineffective SM ever...

To be fair I've pushed them all on the wall, that was my objective. MS paint and no grid gives lot less precision that I wished.

Yeah we really need a grid for this thing

[Hamste]

Anyways I have trick or treating tonight so I won't be on much longer.

[Hamste]

Can someone please draw lines onto our map? So we can tell if the right scouts can double shoot or not.

I think I put a gridded map around here somewhere....

[Firstaria]

I think it would be nice to find an app that permits moving too...

Out of curiosity how do campaigns work?

Out of curiosity how do campaigns work?

series of battles, normally increasing the size of the forces played with in each battle, so the first one may be 250 or 500 pts but the last one will be 2,000 pts or Apocalypse size. Sometimes for each battle won the army that won it get's a bonus.

Out of curiosity how do campaigns work?

Well, there are basically two types of campaign: linear campaigns, and map-based campaigns.

Linear campaigns are basically a whole lot of battles strung together in a story, where the first battle might be a 200 pt skirmish with scouts, and the final battle will involve 2000 pts and a Daemon Prince, together with some form of plot.

Map-based campaigns are essentially a map that players can move on and fight battles on, and holding certain areas can grant either victory and/or bonuses to the faction that holds them. For instance, if I seize a Adeptus Mechanicus Forge-World Manufactorum, my Steel Legion Army might be able to deploy an additional armored unit in my army list. Or if I control an orbital relay I can use the Preliminary Bombardment special rule.

...hmm like the second one. Would it be possible for everyone in our group starting out with a certain amount of planets and then we attack planets until one person wins? There could even be some neutral planets that we might capture.

This is a good idea. Who's up for it?

Right. The trouble is, you don't have the Ork book (or indeed any of them), so you can't make an army for yourself.

...yeah can you start tging me a bunch of ork stats (And the point cost also) so I can keep working on my excel sheet.

If we did it on one planet with different regions (like the campaign on Dawn Of War Dark Crusade) I think that would be better, I can even start getting a map done if everyone approves,

That would be a lot less confusing and make less of an argument of where could attack where.

Eh, sure. Also, we should have fixed army sizes with reinforcement counts based on territories. Because we can!

Regions though, not planets. I've seen city-based campaigns go well actually. Like seizing a Hab Block to increase your reinforcements.

We can have our own bases with their own special rules! And we can have the universal bonuses like in Soulstorm!

Yeah, a map could be done but we need to know how many players there are for an equal split of regions. I can do a map, worry not.

Kind of like Risk except that it isn't horribly random
