Space Marines, Red Shields 3rd Company, Captain Florn

Motyak, I'm not a Dakka veteran by any standards, but I'll take the order commander spot that's remaining if you need some help, I'd love to get more involved.

Can you handle working through battle reports, getting what is needed out of them, and handing the info over to us Organizers?
And can you make the call if someone asks you something??
Do you want better work stories?

Would probably work out better to have a sort of team for each faction instead of just one guy. Of course probably already have that in place.

I'd be up for being a reserve commander for Order in case someone drops out/doesn't want to be a commander anymore, seeing as I missed the last spot by a few hours.

We may call on you if someone is being swamped Brother

We have a team of four players for each team, except Dis-order whish has 1 uber-dude.

For the forces of Other:

Tyranids, Hive Fleet Pyrausta, (hmmm.... haven't really thought who would lead a Tyranid army - collection of Hive Tyrants? Maybe one big hive Tyrant - Bob.)


For my brother (does not currently have a dakka account, and also joining the forces of other):

Tau, Venom Strike Cadre, Shas'O Suam'Tal [Commander Firestorm]

Necrons, the Immortal Legions of Tomb World Garhdon led by Reaper - 'The Harbinger of Doom'

Mentioned this campaign at my local FLG and someone said that people may just lie and say they won even if they lost.

how will you try and fight this?

We've got a few hundred people so far, which should help reduce the effects of a few people doing this. Also, a limit on how frequently you can post, and a requirement to post up a certain amount of detail for each battle will hopefully help to knock the frequency of this behaviour down. We are tossing up having a bonus for battle reports involving much more detail (and therefore more likely to be real) as opposed to those meeting the bare minimum as well.

For example, you can't submit 'My Blood Angels won 8 VPs to 3' every 3 hours and expect that to count. At all. It'll be explained in the player brief, but there is a bare minimum required for result responses.

Does that help assuage your worries a bit?

Yes it does thanks! cant wait for the player brief though.

Forgot to mention, we have a battlefleet for each force as well.

All we need in terms of warzone commanders is an 'other' commander for the Inon System. So far we have;

Order:
Warzone Commanders;
Venta System;
redkommando

Dagon System;
Gromgor

Antropos System;
BloodAngels Brother

Inon System;
motyak

Reserve Commanders for Order;
AlmightyWalrus, ArcSoll

Disorder:
Warzone Commanders;
Venta System;
Ascalam

Dagon System;
Ascalam

Antropos System;
Ascalam

Inon System;
Ascalam

Reserve Commanders for Disorder;
Nil

Other:
Warzone Commanders;
Venta System;
Lt Soundwave

Dagon System;
King Pariah

Antropos System;
Keltikhoa

Inon System;
Insert Your Name Here

Reserve Commanders for Other;
Nil

And to everyone who is interested (which I think is, well, everyone) I am putting finishing touches on the Players Packet. I will show it to the other organizers, get their feedback, then it should be ready for distribution.

What are you gonna do about sectors for clubs that want to fight their battles within the campagin? Are there gonna be opportuinitys for club's to get "deployed" by their respective orders onto the same battlefields so that they can keep a running narrative too?

I don't know about the other warzone commanders, but the order forces in my system will be able to deploy themselves as they want, with at best there being some recommendations from me. I see the warzone commander role as more of a data collecting and passing on role than a command role. I think that will work better than a warzone commander trying to give strict commands.

But that didn't really answer your question. If you were in my warzone, I'd let you choose where you deploy, so you can forge your own narratives (I can't help but hear that phrase in reecius' voice...dammit. 'forging a rock-hard narrative right here'). Anyway, yeah. Did that help a bit more?

Question on fleet assets:

Are we allowing fluff assets ('my chapter has 240 battle barges..' kind of stuff) or are we keeping it strictly to the fleets people have for BFG?

If we can invent fleet assets i'll go invent a few

I'd love to watch this campaign. Go orks!

What exactly are the 'fleet asset's? Are battlefleet gothic games going to be integrated into this campaign?

Hmm I think that fleet assets are mostly a fluff thing. If you are bringing a regiment, you would have the regiment's support element (a transport and a frigate or something), and if you were bringing part of a chapter you would have a strike cruiser and one or 2 escorts. It will be mostly battlefleet gothic which has an in game effect on speed of transport and other mechanics.

However, if, say, disorder is far more active than the other sides in one system, and they have almost all of their fleet assets (fluffy ones) present, and there are no order or other ones really, well, we'll take things like that on a case by case basis.

If anyone comes in with fluff saying 'we have 1,000 cruisers' then they deserve to be smacked over the head really really hard for making things difficult for us.

They sure are, I just finished writing that bit in the player packet as a matter of fact

Awesome, thanks for clearing that up. Looking forward to the start date!

I am so stoked for this campaign. Never done anything like this before!
I'll have to head home from school and play my friend who is signed up for sure

Couple of questions here - out of curiosity, when is this thing gonna get started? I'm really looking forward to smashing some skulls in. Also, assuming there's fluff for our armies, should that be posted or PM'd to one of the organizers for use in the fluff of the campaign?
