@ wild

The Eldar youth thing relates to the number of posts you have, it changes the more you make. I started as a guardsmen with flashlight

**Lorna**

Yeah. And now your a stormtrooper is a maglight, against my Raging Ravener.

*Gribbles face off*

**Gorillawizard**

**Lorna**

Very true.

**Formosa**

What about your pictures?

Does it look snazzy? =)

**Lorna**

the poster is there. The missions aren't.
if someone can print them and bring them tonight.
I couldn't find them when printing.
dakka was beign very annoying.
if not just tell me and i'll print them, but i\m at work.

**SpankHammer III**

Yup I've come a long way

**Lorna**

a damn long way.
soon you'll even be able to do something in a game.
except kill thing with your damn tanks.

**SpankHammer III**

What exactly needs printing as I have access to a colour printer at work.

Do you mean kill my own stuf with my own damn tanks? because I still do that, Chimera or as I like to call them burning coffins

**Lorna**

haha

formy wants the first two missions printing. They should be somewhere on the front page, at least he says they should.

And i would print them, but i can't from my macbook.

**SpankHammer III**

What you talking bout Lorna?

Do mean the 1500 and 1750 point games because they ain't on page 1.

**Lorna**

i dunno, i'm guessing those.

**SpankHammer III**

Ok, i'll stick it on a .doc and print it but there's not a lot to it.

Plus no one ever got back to me about what planets these first two games take place on?

**Lorna**

i'm guessing we'll find out when we get in tonight.
What time are you getting in?

**SpankHammer III**

I'm aiming for 5 but I might be a little late. I've skipped Lunch so will hopefully get out of here early.

How about you?

**Lorna**

cool. I should be there just before 5. I'm finishing an hour early today, so should be good.

**SpankHammer III**

Ok I've updated the Mission types and included it into the fluff:

Round 1 – The Campaign Begins
It did not take long for Imperials revulsion, at the destruction wrought upon the former imperial system, to turn to a boiling rage and launch their offensive.

It is widely agreed by imperial historians that the beginning of the crusade to liberate Golgotha was signalled by two simultaneous raids upon _____________ and ___________.

The Opening Stages
The assault on ____________ was the larger of the two raids; the purpose of this action was to wrestle control of the local spaceport from the hands of the enemy. Imperial commanders had recognised that the liberation efforts hinged upon not only victory on the planets surface but dominance in local space as well. If the Spaceport could be taken it would allow the free movement of men and material to and from the planets surface, providing a value beach head for the liberation of the whole planet and a spring board for offensives in the rest of the System. An Imperial force secretly made planet fall. The strike forces main objective was to disable the spaceports defence network, paving the way for a larger troop deployment. The defence network was based around three power nodes if the attackers could hold just two of the nodes for long enough the spaceport powerful Lascannon batteries would power down.

The attacking player must destroy the spaceports defences, disrupting the flow of power from the nodes. The defender must deny the attackers the access to the nodes and ensure the spaceports power grid in maintained.
Points: 1750
Game Type: 3 objectives
Table 6"/4'

Raid
The second raid on ____________ was a diversionary attack to draw the enemies’ attention away from the attack of the spaceport. Imperial commanders knew that in order to convince the enemy that the diversion was real they could not use half measures, although the diversionary force was smaller than the force attacking the spaceport it was only fractionally so and still represented a creditable threat. The diversion would also offer imperial command the opportunity to study their enemy, his reactions, his skill and his cunning thus giving them a valuable insight for future actions. The second force landed in the middle of the night cycle, their orders were simple “cause a gak load of trouble”. Their attack was timed to start at dawn, before the attack on the spaceport, in order to give the enemy time move his forces away form the spaceport.

The attacking player must engage and destroy the enemy where ever possible, and cause enough damage to distract the opposition’s main force. The defenders must stamp out this diversionary attack before it can disrupt their operations in the area.
Points: 1500
Game Type: Kill points Dawn Assault (Night Fight turn 1)
Table 4"/4'

I did notice though that formosa hasn't said what the deployment types are, oh and I switched Victory points to kill points because VP are fantasy.

**Lorna**

Looks good man.
The types make sense as does the fluffyness.

**Nick Ellingworth**

Good to get the campaign underway last night, I quite enjoyed that game, it's just a shame that we couldn't finish it.

**woodbok**

We still won though!!!

**Nick Ellingworth**

That is true. Probably be my only victory of the campaign.

**Lorna**

overall victory for disorder

**SpankHammer III**

Yeah was good fun, does anyone know if those Necron destroyers actually died or not?

Trying to work out my EXP for Formosa.

**woodbok**

Ok, this is why i hate my 3rd ed codex.
1 necron destroyer squad died, but got back up in another squad.(1 destroyer died) then, 1 had a heavy destroyer and 2

destroyers up. i shall have to ask formosa for clarification about this.

**SpankHammer III**

Ok no problem, next official campaign isn't for another month so i'm not in that much of a rush.

**Lorna**

It's works like kill points, when they got back up, they were alive, but it would still be a kill point, so you keep your EXP for them.

Thats how i figure it. Like my Ymgarls with 450 xp.

**SpankHammer III**

I'm sure how they would have got back up though I hit them with a demolisher S10 Ap 2 and a Melta Cannon S8 Ap1 and thought they were out of range for the orb.

What's the orb Range? 6"

I don't know got a little confusing in places, it's the problem of playing 3 vs 3

**Lorna**

yup. 6".

Yeah well that's the last 3v3 until the end of the campaign.
