So it looks like tonight we are going to have three players. I want to do a 3 way battle royale, because we only have time for one game.

I'm thinking of 750 points, and we are having horde orks, foot salamanders, and (I think) horde nids.

What I'm concerned about is deployment. Obviously I can't use any of the deployment types in the rulebook, so what do you guys suggest? I can't even think of how to do "own" table edges. Should two forces have opposing table edges, and the third role for either left or right? Or do some weird corner cut up strategy? I'm was maybe thinking of modifying dawn of war. So each force puts out two troops and an HQ, then everything else comes in on turn 1 (but not doing night fight). That way the board isn't overcrowded for deployment.

How would you guys do this?

Roll for it.
1-2 is one of the short edges
3-4 is one of the long edges
5-6 is players choice
Maybe add a rule stating that you must deploy at least 18" away from an enemy unit

personally i highly recommend against it, after about 2 turns, two players gain up on a third then kill each other

I agree with the above post. I used to play 3 ways though when I was first getting into the game, and we used a triangular table lol. (made out of some thick insulation). anyway, it worked better then the normal table, but still there is no even fight really and it takes ALOT longer than you would think, especially the assault phase.
