Chuck here, my first game of week two I played Sean and his Eldar. I got 2 points for winning plus another 5 from Blood of Martyrs for killing over half of Sean's Eldar. Sean got 1 point for playing I'm not quite sure which Warlord trait he has though. I'm going to be around tomorrow too if anyone is interested in playing a game

Played Michael Frye and ended up in a tie. It was a long learning game and was absolutely a great learning night for us.
We each got 1 point for playing but no win point.
Michaels grand trait earned him 2 points for keeping his force field generator giving him a total of 3 points added to the Imperium bank.
My grand trait will bank the imperium 5 points if the imperium is in the lead
So 4 minimum and 9 maximum for the imperium bank pending the week lead results.

I won't be able to make it this Sunday or next Sunday, but will be at the Whiz all day Tuesday if anyone wants to get a game in.

Sean here-i played chucks IG and lost-i got 1 point for playing and 5 points for my warlord trait which gives me points for holding objectives

Lost to Steve's eldar 5 to 9 and my dad Bob won 3 to 2 against mike x

For week 2 i played an additional game vs joe
I won

We used no special rules

I appropriate all my points to the crusade of fire

no one gained territory as we had both previously claimed a hex this week

Lost to Steve's eldar 5 to 9 and my dad Bob won 3 to 2 against mike x

Pandaman, does this mean the score of the game was 3 to 2 or your dad's campaign points were 3 to 2?

Please double check my math especially if your warlord trait is funky.

Week 1 12 total faction points pending frankr posting points, week 2 still waiting for some players to post

I played another game also on Saturday against Eric D's Blood Ravens and lost that game to him.
Eric got 2 points for winning but Im not sure what his trait is though
I got 1 point for playing and then my trait on this game if my faction is in the lead adds another 5 points
I also gained another additional 5 points for the game played against chris B
My total points gained on Saturday was 12 if my faction is in the lead and 2 if not

I have now played a total of 4 games since quitting 6 years ago haha Im getting the hang of it better now so Ill win one soon. Just need to tweak my army to find my warriors

@joe - Ruiner of worlds, tyrants domain, selfless sacrifice, and master of the crusade are end of turn points. So you'd only get them once per week not for every game. Other than that glad your getting the hang of things and having fun welcome back!

If everyone could make sure to read your rules packet and just make sure your reporting the right points per game/week we will be much better off so we don't have to go back later and adjust. If you have any questions feel free to ask Gil, mr Walsh, or I(Steve).

Also I still can't get over how good the blood of martyrs/slayer of men warlord traits are ;p. really wish I had rolled a 2 not a 3.

And to all the xenos guys let's have a little powwow tues before we go on to figure out what our plan of action(if any) is going to be in the campaign. Because the monkeigh's are starting to pull ahead! I'm fine with acting like xenos and being every man for himself, but there are other options too ;p

I won against alejandro's eldar on 4/19/14 got 2 points for winning and another 5 for the great hunter warlord trait.
please let me know if I missed anything as im kind of new to this system.

Also I still can't get over how good the blood of martyrs/slayer of men warlord traits are ;p. really wish I had rolled a 2 not a 3.

I'm feeling a little guilty that I did not share these rules before the campaign began, but I did not realize how strong they could be. The pro is that it keeps the campaign friendly because we realize that it is really all just a game of chance. The con is that if someone is really gunning to win the campaign, then they could be a significant disadvantage if they did not roll a good Warlord trait. I'd be fine with keeping or dropping the Grand Warlord traits for the June Phase 2, but that's up to the players.

Thinking of prizes at the end of Phase 1 & us not having three factions: Initially I had written:

At the end of the campaign, we would use Frank's scale to adjust team & individual trackers. Then everyone on the winning Faction gets a prize plus the best score on the other Factions (there's 3 in Crusade of Fire). Depending on how many people that is, the size of prizes would be:
30ish% of prizes: Best individual of winning Faction
20ish% & 20ish%: Best individual of each of the other 2 factions
10ish% to each other player on the winning team.

I think with only 2 factions we can adjust this to:
35ish% of prizes: Best individual of winning Faction
25ish% Best individual of the other faction.
remainder distributed to each other player on the winning team, but requiring atleast some games having been played. But I'm open to any other ideas; post here.

Because we are doing this as a friendly thing I have no problem with keeping the warlord traits as I think it adds some spice for sure, I just think we should alter those 2 points wise I'm thinking more like 3/6(enemies killed/losses of your own). Because seriously with that warlord trait I could probably just win for my team and myself based on my points alone ;p. I could almost guarantee myself 22-33points a week without even really winning games, and who's gonna keep pace with that lol. Whether or not the players with those traits are going to do that probably makes it a moot point. But eventually they'll wise up I'm sure ;p

Also are we scoring points per week for tiles held? Or just games played/warlord traits? I'm still a touch confused about scoring.

Also that prize breakdown seems fine, I'd say you should have at least 4-5 games played spread over at least 4 weeks(no getting 4 games last week of campaign just for a prize) to be in consideration for prizes on the winning team.

DeadShotJoker(Joe) and I played a game on Saturday. It was Crusade, and I won 9-1.

I don't think my Campaign Trait lets me take a second extra tile this week, but Joe's Campaign Trait nets him +5 points if his side is in the lead.

Two things of note:

1) It was unintentionally misreported that I had lost in last week's game against Rob. We weren't aware of how different the Relic mission was from standard objective games. Apparently the Relic can only be seized at the end of a movement phase, but Rob's Tyranids weren't able to reach the objective until he ran to it in the shooting phase. The score was actually 2-0 because of that.

2) I won't be able to make it tonight but I'll be able to get a game in tomorrow night if anyone's interested.

I won't be able to make it this week, sorry for the short notice.


-frank

Ended up beating the Sam knights and took a tile.
2 points for winning
+1 for stronghold
Total 3 points.

At the end of the turn I'll have
+5 hive city(warlord)
+2 shield generator(warlord)
+1 Manufactorum
For a total of 8 points +3 for winning giving me a total of 11 for the week.

Mike b beat nick R for 2 points.

Also are we scoring points per week for tiles held? Or just games played/warlord traits? I'm still a touch confused about scoring. -Chancetragedy

I forgot about this so I will go back & add in those points.

Results in spreadsheet below. Please double check my math. It is a Word document.

I believe my score should be 38 not 34.

Week 1
3 pts for tiles
3 points for an escalation win (Isaiah)
2 points for void shield(warlord)
Total 8

Week 2
4 points for tiles
2 points for normal game win (nick)
7 points for hive city/void shield(warlord)
1 point Manufactorum
Total 14 points

Week 3
5 points tiles
3 points stronghold win (Sam)
7 points HC/VS(warlord)
1 point Manufactorum
Total 16 pts

fixed in spreadsheet

Gil Week one i should have +4 for tiles because i started the game with 3 and played one game that week for a bonus one = 4 tiles.

Thanks

Also does anyone want to play a game today or tomorrow? (4/23/14 or 4/24/14)
I will check DAKKA DAKKA around 4pm today and tomorrow if i get no replys i will not be at the store.

Cool. Thanks. I have your objective markers that you loaned Bob & I. I can drop them off Friday morning or when I see you on Tuesday.

I got a game in against Mike Frye last night. I won with three objectives and his warlord. He only had first blood(note: Sorcerers are allergic to Demolisher rounds).

I get 2 campaign points, one of Mike's tiles, and a second, empty tile. Mike has the Trait where he gets extra points for holding power plants and spaceports- I don't know if he has any to get points from, but it'll be 1 point plus any he gets from the Trait.

Chuck here, I played Mr. Walsh's Tau and after 6 turns we ended up with a stalemate. Neither of us could break the other's lines or claim the objective at the center of the table. I didn't gain any points for the campaign from my warlord trait, the Tau were just too dug in for me to do enough damage. Not sure what Mr. Walsh's warlord trait is but we both received 1 point for playing a game

Also I am off this Saturday and Sunday if anyone wants to get in a game, pm me or post on the board

I played Joe P. We played Big Guns Never Tire with a final game score of 10 to 6. I won and got 2 points for winning plus 5 points for Blood of Martyrs for a total of 7 campaign points. Joe P got 1 point and 5 points for Selfless Sacrifice (if we remain in the lead) for a total of 6 campaign points. Since we are on the same team that should be 13 campaign points total for the team.

I played a game against the space wolves-and finally got my first win. 2 points for winning and 5 for playing totals 7! Hail xenos

Spreadsheet updated.

Team Gise would like to report an 8-6 Kill point victory over Mr. Walsh's Tau on 4/21 and a 6-3 KP victory over Adam's Dark Eldar on 4/22

We currently have 23 players participating in phase 1 of the campaign. We have 3 weeks left to go. While it would be neat to finish with a big APOC game or something, I don't see how you get 23 people into one game much less into the store at any one time. I expect to just keep playing games as usual and announce the campaign winners on Tuesday May 20th. What would you guys like improved / added / changed for phase 2? More planets / less planets? 1500 points or 1750 or more? Change Grand Warlord traits? Anyone have any dates that would be bad for them? I would prefer to begin after school ends around the end of June in order to free up time for people to get more painting done, but I realize some folks go on vacation over the summer.

I like the 1500 pt limit for this, games are quick and fun.

And yah if even half the people show up an apoc game will be a nightmare ;p. but there are also people asking me outside the campaign if we're doing an apoc game. So if we decide to go that route I have some ideas to speed things up and make it a very smooth and enjoyable process.
