Alright I'm planning on making a 40k campaign with some friends and I've come up with some rules. These will all be talked about beforehand between us and modified but I figured I'd bring it here first to see if anyone has any other ideas.

Spoiler:

Please let me know any ideas you might have to make this more interesting.

A campaign is above all else a way to get in enjoyable battles. This system would reward players who are able to game the system and fight against an opponent using more points than them. It also rewards players who don't fight during any given round and allow their opponents to exhaust themselves - leading to everybody just sitting back and letting the points pile up

What that will inevitably detract from the actual 40k games won't be made up for from the 'fun' of shuffling points from planet to planet and skipping turns. Trust me on that one.

Campaigns are more fun if you try and run them like a tabletop RPG; set up some narrative and let it flow.
