My group is regular, but its 3 players. We tried to make a 3 player scenario and it kind of sucked. Can you guys pint me in the direction of some good 3 player scenarios?
Thanks in advance!

Meeting place.
The generals of 3 opposing armies have met to discuss an alliance (or ceasefire) when something happens to break the fragile peace and their armies rush to the meeting point to assist their commanders.
Nominate 1 HQ choice from each army to be the general.
These units must deploy in the center of the board (The deployment are for this is 6"x6")
The rest of the army is rolled for like reserves.
If the nominated general of an army dies the player responsible for his death gains get +3 Kill points instead of the usual 1, if playing an objectives mission mark where he/she fell, the marker becomes a new objective.
No Special characters allowed.
HQ choices with more than 1 model may be taken with the normal options e.g. IG command squad can take bodyguards, advisors, vets, even a chimera.

The owner if the general get 3kp, or the player who did the killing?

The guy doing the killing. Sorry if i wasn't clear, it's been a hard day.

This scenario works best on Realm of Battle boards, but any 6x4 will work, if you can mark off areas pretty well.

On one side of the board, remove both corner tiles (two 2'x2' sections), so the the board is roughly a "T" shape. Each player deploys 12" into their leg of the "T." Two players facing each other, one facing off the other side of the board. In the No Mans Land tile (the unoccupied 2'x2'), place a marker. Each team must try and get this marker to their board edge. The marker can be picked up by any unit that can score (usually just units that are troops and Infantry). The marker nullifies all abilities (friend or foe) that would permit the unit carrying the marker to move more that 12 inches in a single movement phase (No Flat out transports, no Gate of Infinity, as examples).

If a unit firing at a target draws line of sight over the "removed" sections of the board, the shots miss.

AFAIK, the BRB actually has rules for 3 way combat, and even gives some scenario encounters (Chaos army having disagreements)

Yup it does, i've played by it's rules recently. It was complete chaos, glad we kept the points low and had time to play. Fun though.

Take the Sanguinor, declare both HQs targets, profit

Less than 24 hours and my slightly stolen/created scenario has been abused.
On another note IG Command squads are allowed all of their normal upgrades (So it could be possible to orbital strike one of the enemy HQs early on)

That, but you could also nuke yourself. A CCS with plasma guns would give most ICs a headache. A chapter master could potentially orbital strike them all.

He could also nuke himself. And i have tried fighting a CCS with only an IC and it doesn't work. Though the deployment are is pretty small so they should be able to get CC without being tured into super heated sludge.

Yeah.
I'm sure the Space Wolves also have some SC that would wreck this scenario. (Don't have the wolf codex, but I'd be willing to be money you do.)

Yeah they do maybe change it to only IC or iin the case of guard a CCS.

Now I've got it.

Bjorn the fellhanded, that would mess people up. The only people who could stop him are a CCS with meltas.

So... Can the generals attack each other?

Played something like this on Sunday. The player who went first on one turn would go last on the next. The other 2 players rolled off for 1st. Really sucked...
