The 2nd ed boxed set contained:
Orks
20 boyz
40 gretchin (no runtherders but these have to be included now)
Cardboard dread

BA
2 tactical squads (combat squadded)
Each with a vet sarge, a flamer and a ml.

Both forces in 7th cost 340pts (with 4 additional runherders)

Now there are differences such as runtherders, BA potentially getting FC, orks were bs3 ws3, gretchin had 24" range, etc (and massively different rules).

Is it worth trying this campaign again but with 7th ed rules and changes do you think?

Here is a reminder of the missions:
LOTS of walls and ruins needed.

1st mission:
30 gretchin (now also 3 runtherders)
Vs
5 marines inc vet sarge and flamer.

2nd mission:
15 boyz (in either 1, 2 or 3 squads)
Vs
5 marines with ml.

3rd mission:
Every casualty so far rolls a die. On a 5+ they have recovered fron their wounds.
1 deff dread with rokkit launcher and big shoota
20 ork boyz
40 gretchin (and 4 runtherders now)
Vs
20 marines inc 2 vet sarges, 2 ml and 2 flamers.
Minus casualties that had not survived.

Due to BA being merely overcosted vanilla marines othwrwise they automatically get FC (rather than just on a 1/6).

What do you think? Still workable? Should be a very quick campaign if it is.

(When I say workable, I am also asking if you think the forces and missions balanced?)

Seems an interesing idea, run threw it on your own and see if you need to tweek it, but shoulfd woirk fine.

Sounds neat!

Ahhh.... The good ol days.

I think it would be a really fun way to spend an afternoon, to tell you the truth! Bonus points if you use the models out of the box set!

Haha - still have them!

I think if it seems that the BA are struggling, maybe they should be run as IF (bolter drill) with the sarges being upgraded to have mbs.

If the orks are the ones struggling then maybe the grots should get their 24" range back.
