actually i think it has rules that the gun works by itself but if you put a squad in to man it you use the increased BS of the squad

Primarchs and Primorks are Lords of War but there is no need to restrict anything for the Apocalypse game. If you choose to use them in the smaller games I guess its a matter of choice. Primarchs that can fly are free to join the Blitzkrieg as part of the missions 50% wings/jump pack sort of thingy! If there are any coming that is!

@Matt... don't worry about being shy, at the moment since Mark can only attend Saturday you will (if the situation remains the same) be playing in the smaller games ve the voxnet chaps who will be using a combination of my fisters and WE!

Unless anybody else is struggling for apoc game or we get more players then it could be anybody!




Automatically Appended Next Post:
@Mark... Can you go to the first expedition pages and change the heading for our thread there to include the dates please Mark? It may give people a nudge towards attending. Also, maybe drop some more subtle hints about some of them coming along in the get together page as my advances are being firmly yet politely ignored!

use it at Ullanor, see how it comes on and christen it for something it achieves?

Ah Scott - All these beautries are going to cleanse the Ullanor of the dirty Xeno scrum

Skulls for the emperor!

If there are any there to cleanse!

Its about time I had myself a decent rant as the build up for Ullanor has been quite sedate so far. Maybe that is the problem, maybe that is why people are not buying their tickets... WAAAAAAGH! Maybe they need a good kick up the backside! Pff, whats the point, eh? The only people who are reading our thread are coming and HAVE bought their tickets... its so depressing sometimes!

This organising stuff is harder than it seems.

Most people i have spoke to have either said that they are away because of the bank holiday or are going to the uk gt the weekend before and dont want(not aloud to by her in doors) play 2 weekends in a row.

Might have a potential but will have to wait and see if he is or not.

UK GT, these are the sort of thing that we could do without the weekend before our events...

On a positive note though, July seems to be a more popular event already!

Alright all?

If it's any help to the promotion ect of the events I am sure me and Matt could knock up some basic flyers (the paper kind) and i will put one in every uk order i send out.
While we are talking the hundreds and not hundreds of thousands each month it all helps and anything I can do to chip in, I will do.

On the playing front, Er indoors works saturday and sunday shifts and i have 2 little uns that i am pretty sure it is seen as bad parenting to leave alone for the day while i play Wargames.
If I can convince her to book a weekend off for something other than the mother in law visiting I'll be at an event soon!

Notts, UK

Hi all,

Duncs and I met up to play on Saturday, so we chose game two of the Ullanor campaign to try out. I used my Squat Guard (using the standard IG codex) and Duncs used Orks. We had fun, and made a few notes along the way. Here goes!

- We assumed that the Imperial player should go first? Or have the choice to go first, should he wish.

- We thought that allowing the Imperial player to choose whether Nightfighting applied at the start if the game would help mitigate the big advantage the Orks had with Interceptor and Skyfire.

- We weren't sure if Flyers could be part of the Imperial force's starting 50% of units.

- To mitigate the Orks' advantage for starting 'dug in' up to halfway across the table, we thought the Imperials might be allowed to assault on the turn they arrived from reserve/deepstrike.

- We rolled Warlord Traits from the regular table, however we found that they were either useless in this mission, or rather unbalancing. We wondered whether a short set of mission-specific Warlord Traits may balance things up? Or not use them at all.

Anyway, we had a great game, with Duncs' 18 Lootas chewing through my Manticore, Chimeras and Hellhounds as they rolled on. I managed to blow up two of his Battlewagons and one unit of three Grot Big Guns and wipe out a proportion of his Boyz, but in a reversal of the normal order of things, Duncs' Ork gunline just had too much firepower for the assaulting Squat Guard!

Ey up Grazer,

I've taken some notes from your feedback and have decided upon the following.

- Warlords traits for this game, and also the Blitzkrieg mission, have been dropped and the next and final amendment of the campaign pack will reflect this, as well as night-fighting becoming a player choice.

- Imperial/attacking units indeed go first and this has been made specific in the pack also, though it has not been updated online yet.

- Imperial can assault in the turn they arrive at any point during the mission, I will check to see if the wording needs to be adjusted to reflect this.

- I think flyers can arrive as the player chooses, either in initial 50% or from reserve this game, unlike standard games in which they arrive from reserve by default.

Hope it was still a good, fun game to be part of though as that is the aim. This mission is supposed to bridge a gap between standard games and planetstrike but I didn't want to force players to own or play planetstrike as it can be a pain in the butt, and invariably always won by the attackers (in my experience at least)
