You should meet the New Order. They are nice folk.

So, I guess I have an Eldar captive?

Exitar is going to wear him

When WK rolled poorly, he told me I have an Eldar captain

Lol rip

yeah it's not going to be pretty

If you can keep yourself from killing him, I can come over and extract information. Im good at that kind of stuff.

Named characters are still protected right?

Yeah. Or frankly I'd not be talking part, haha.

Captive Kharne. Not Captain

New grading scale aas agreed upon by chazz. Still a bit experimental

Spoiler:

0-5 Major Victory
6-15 Victory
16-30 Minor Victory
31-45 Minor Defeat
46-55 Defeat
56+ Major Defeat

Interesting scale. Let's see how it goes

Hopefully better than the last one. I am considering dropping the minor victory/defeat and leaving a "draw" in its place. Of course it would be smaller than it is now.

I like minor victories... I say leave em in

I like the minor defeat/victory. You can still make progress with them, or not lose much. But, for the sake of trying new things, say I'm trying to assassinate Edgar, and roll a draw. What would happen? I'm curious as to how it can be a draw without it being a minor victory/defeat in all but the name, if that makes any sense.

It gets too fuzzy when I have to come up with minor victories or minor defeats, but I can do a draw, where something bad happens to the enemy and something bad happens to you.

So, in that particular case, Edgar would be shot and then the Kroot assassin would be mugged? The nice part about a minor victory would be the Kroot would escape, but probably be injured. The defeat means someone dies, and I won't like who. I'm not complaining though, I rolled, and got a defeat. It seems like draws are going to be very bloody rolls...

I like the minors. It may be that you win a small tactical gain but no strategic loss or gain so the victory changes none of the larger picture.

Just a skirmish victory.

Agreed. Minor victories work best for situations which simply can't work as draws (eg. assassinating a target)

With the minors, you can win, but lose heavy casualties, or lose, but not lose many men. It's just like how the major means you lose either hardly any men or most of them.

Also, 56+ major defeat? As in, anywhere between 45-55 can't be a major defeat?
I'm not sure if this was noticed, but now people can guarantee that they never get a major defeat without modifiers? Is that intentional?

I haven't incorporated modifiers yet and I won't unless I can come up with some good negative ones.

I agree on the Minor Victory/Defeat, but adding a draw would be good too




So how long before people can start bringing in 3rd factions (Maybe a month or so?)

I would Include one or the other, not both.

I would hold off on 3 factions. Most people aren't even doing two.

So, is the 45-55 effect intentional then?

A little. If I can come up with negative modifiers that can make it so you will be "majorly defeated" within 50, maybe 40 or 30 for the most severe cases, but then add some positive modifiers to counter act it.

I like it

Attacking a established base probably should have a harder modifee as fixed defences and planned fire zone etc. ?

I would imagine so

1) I don't mind that you stole some Histans, BC. In fact, I'm actually happy that someone will carry on using some Histans, seeing as how I didn't bring them in this time around. They may not be a full fighting force, but it's still nice to see them be around.

2) I kinda cheated when I spelt Kyrkk'ryk'ykk, due to typing everything on my phone, the keyboard remembers certain phrases that I typed, so I always typed 'kyr' and then it automatically fills in the rest. For once autocorrect is helpful.

In all honesty they're npc, and I won't count them as a force when rolling, but it's nice to add some colour to the guys helping out.
