anyone?

Think you're gonna have to be a lot more specific before you can get meaningful feedback here.

For starters:
1. Does EoD stand for Engine of Destruction or something else?
2. What basic rules does the scenario use (Sieze Ground, Annihilate, Ambush, etc.)?
3. What special rules does the scenario use (Deep Strike, Vital Objectives, etc.)?
4. How does the aforementioned Engine of Destruction work in the context of the scenario. It is carried by an elites choice unit you say? What does it do?
5. Specifics: What sort of terrain do you recommend for this map? Wide open spaces? Dense forests? Urban hellscape? What army size do you recommend? Short, to the point, 750-pointer? Epic 2,500 pointer? Somewhere in between?

Argh sorry man deitals deitals

1: Eod's are the guys who go and disarm bombs or more spisificly IEDs (improvised explosev device)
2: what im thinking is that the Eod has a bomb in whitch he/she has to plant in the selectid area (center of the board) and set the bomb to blow the oposing eod must disarm the bomb (roll to see who is atacker and who is defender)
3: main objective is to plant/disarm bomb secondary elimenate the enemy Eod
4:the Eod is the bomb tec and is taken a a elites choice he/she plants and/or disarms the enimy bomb, should be a infantry modle though go wild with convertions (not like a dreadnaught could be a Eod) and may take a body gaurd retniue (hey hes the bomb tek not like hes expendabal like the other guys)
5: terrain you can go wild just needs a cental plaza buildin (like in a jungle a ancent ruin or in a city a plaza) points wise im thinking 1.5K maybe? i had a skirmish in mind

hope that clears it up thanks!

Doesn't that mean the attacking EOD has to plant for the defending EOD to disarm it?
or can they just kill the enemy EOD and disarm it?

Did anyone else who hasn't seen The Hurt Locker yet immediatly think of Counter-Strike?

EOD: Explosive Ordianance Disposal. Personally because again I didn't see the movie I thought you meant End Of Days, so yeah it helps to be specific.

I think a certain blast from the past would be cool in this scenario. There used to be rules for something called 'Sentry' it's kind of a mini-game within 40K. I don't think that GW would be happy with me posting the rules up but the basic idea is that each side only has certain units they can move until a special condition is met where an alarm is raised then the battle starts proper.

A mix between a proper battle and the old kill-team rules with a moving objective mixed in could be good.

puplefood: yea that's what i was thinking when the bomb is set you must move back to twelve inches before it explodes resembeling the killzone of 25 meters in real life (not shapmal that kills you the force of the explotion) and yea just get through his body gaurds first

ComputerGeek1: pm me the rules and the hurt locker is a must see i highly recomend it, and i dont realy think kill team might work but i might playtest it

Ohhh. Explosive Ordnance Disposal. That makes more sense in the context of the Hurt locker.

I like where this is going.

yeah I already have made a model for my DA's il make a armylist thing for him soon
