Subject: Whiz store September 2014 campaign Current Rules page 8
Presently there are only two people who have posted any of their results to the googledocs spreadsheet- any one else want to win prize $$$$?? Fill out & submit results!
Next Tuesday Nov 11th we will distribute prizes for the campaign phase 3 at 5pm. Beginning at 11am I will be running a fun all day game for those interested (or have the day off from school). Bring as many points as you have time to play representing an attacker or defender. Some fluffy criteria applies:
Attacker must have all units deployed in flyers, drop pods or be able to deep strike.
Defender must have no tanks.
Mission will cover a 14'x4' table length where the attackers attempt to board a battle cruiser.
Attackers will need to (1) fight through space to reach the ship:
(2) land on the exterior & battle their way through massive blast doors
(3) fight their way through the landing bay
(4) battle through the confines of the space hulk to reach the command center.
I plan on hanging out all day so whenever you come in & want to join in, come on by!

So I'm pretty sure I've been posting. My results to the wrong Google doc if you only have 2 people(unless I'm one of the two)
But as far as the game goes, I won't make it till normal time, approx 5pm, but I'll be in to play. I have two lists to bring but have a question. Are FW armies allowed? I have my Elysian list I would like to run.
If not, are sentinels considered "tanks" for defenders?
I want to bring one of each list so I can jump on either side if one needs it

Sounds good. This is gonna be a weird kinda game where people join in whenever they want & quit whenever they want. I imagine there might even be time when no one is playing, but I want to try it out & give everyone a chance to join in without feeling rushed. FW armies are cool. Sentinels are cool. We're try it our this time so everyone has idea of what it looks like for when we make it pivotal in a future campaign phase. Tomorrow is just the sandbox.
Results as of Monday night are attached in an Excel spreadsheet.
Thanks to everyone for a great Veteran's Day game filled with dice, movement phases with warp charge pools, assault phases with cover saves, and deep striking during consolidation. Geez there were a dozen rules-lawyers rolling over in their graves yesterday!
For any who did not attend, the first board required people to fly over to the battle cruiser despite air defense and multiple dakkajets:
When invaders reach the battle cruiser, they try to get through the half open blast doors into a landing bay. Some armies just drop pod onto the exterior of the ship & let their maglocks do the walking:
The landing bay looks a lot like a bit excuse to add terrain in a big open space:
This is where the madness got… mad.
yes, that is what you think it is.
The Imperials then fought tooth & nail to get into the bowels of the ship in order to deliver a a bomb load to the command center, held by Ghaz:
Of course, the assassins made an appearance:
And of course, Ghaz had no intentions to give up his command center with all its shiny dingerooz and blinking roo-bops:

It figures this was the one night I brought imperial Knights so I couldn't join in. But Gil I gotta say you've been amazing during these last 5-6 months or so of campaigns,thanks again for all the hard work and effort you put in. Looking forward to the 30k campaign in January.

Mac,
I saw your post on facebook talking about a new summer campaign, I'm definitely interested in this. Also I was in the store yesterday and Lynn mentioned someone asked her about an escalation league.

I'm hoping to come down tonight. Then I'll be busy for a few weeks, but hope to come in the last Tuesday in June and maybe begin the campaign the first Tuesday in July? Everyone please post their opinion of the following:
Start date?
# of weeks? 6?
Use the same Warlord traits?
Ideas for new Warlord traits?
Use the map again?
Improvements to last campaign?
Escalation? 1250 for 2 weeks, 1500 for 2 weeks, and 1750 for two weeks? Always option to go higher if opponent is prepared?
Painting score? Bonus score for posting fluff, game photos & batreps?

I think an escalation campaign would be good.
it's a bit self serving as I have a bunch of Adeptus Mechanicus to paint, and an escalation league this would be the perfect opportunity/excuse.
this is a bit of a brain dump, sorry it's not formatted well.
Maybe have a little narrative, nothing huge just a "why is everyone fighting for these planets? Maybe something by faction.? give a special mission objective to each player based on their army, ie if someone is playing a dark angles player, let them nominate an enemy unit to be a target to kill because they have information about the fallen. Mechanicus is after an STC, etc. Just something to add flavor.
of course that meas people will need to let you know in advance what faction they are playing,.
For non-game ways to earn points; something for army theme, painting new full units, battle reports, etc?
take or leave those, just a brain dump of ideas.

Patrick would like to run the campaign & will post ideas here. That sounds good to me b/c then I can crush the will of my enemies beneath the heels of my hoofs (daemonkin) without regret!!
Eric has a really cool cards idea that I think could mesh well with Patrick's ideas. It is similar to the cards I made for Templecon (see attachment). We could make up a set for each player.
One idea that just came to me is that each week, there could be a special edition card for whoever wins that week. Players who win could replace one card in their deck with a special edition card. That would refine their deck and reward them for winning, but not necessarily be too strong of an advantage. The idea is from the game Dominion for those who have played that. If you haven't, then you should!!
I would love it if Patrick ran this round of the campaign so I could focus on list building and playing games.
So who is Patric and when are we going to hear from him about this campaign?
I would like to hear what we are doing or at least have ideas tossed around...

Patrick posted in the FB Whiz mini players page that his computer stopped working so I'm gonna go out on a limb & bet this isn't the best time for him to be running a campaign. Hopefully he gets it fixed. Until then, here is what we are going to do:
Everyone make up cool tokens for the map that will work with magnets. I will bring the usual paper & magnets if you don't have any creative ideas.
I took those & made a Word document that the players could print out at home (or go to Staples if you don't have a color printer.) See attachment.
I made up one red card which would be the reward for anyone who wins a game during the first week of the campaign; June 30th thru July 7th. If anyone is interested in coming up with "Winner cards" for weeks 2-6, post them in this thread.
Week #1 June 30th thru 7th
Week #2 July 7th thru 14th
Week #3 July 14th thru 21st
Week #4 July 21st thru 28th
Week #5 July 28th thru August 4th
Week #6 August 4th thru 11th
Prizes awarded Tuesday August 11th
Entry fee this time around: $25 for each store, pay where you play.
I really love this fresh idea & I really really love how this thread has become the depository of great campaign ideas. Thanks everybody!! See you June 23rd for the Info & registration night.
Whiz players please post a response to this message so I know who has read this.
I know what you mean, but at this point I have linked this thread so many times to so many players, I would rather keep it all in one place.
I will be having an info night at the Whiz on June 23rd to explain the campaign for the summer. We'll start playing games on the 30th. I'll have another info night at That's Entertainment in Fitchburg that week, but I'm waiting to see when those guys want to schedule it.
If you play at the Whiz, you'll pay there. If you play at That's E, you'll pay there. You'll win prizes where you paid. It's really two campaigns using the same rules and happening at the same time.

I'm waiting to hear from the That's E crew, but that store closes at 7pm so Sundays will probably be the "day". There will be interruptions for MTG release events & drafts.
Since I couldn't make it to the store last week for the information session I have a few questions.
- What points level?
- Forgeworld Units?
- Forgeworld Army Lists?
