If I recall the travel time limit would result in players attempting things like that posting fewer results. good suggestion though.

Or increase the time lag

Wait until the campaign reaches its later stages, there will be more of a penalty for travel as space lanes become more dangerous and the warp acts up...

Especially if Nids and/or Chaos are successful in the early stages

Will we be able to figure out who in our area is also playig this campaign?

That is really up to you, if players wish to announce where they are for the campaign we could start a thread in the 'find a game' subforum with areas (probably just states and countries, from there you can PM the people in your state) where everyone can post if they want. In fact, I'll do that now

There's already been a Waagh! bigger than Ullanor, it's in the 6th edition rulebook.

Other than that, splendid work.

Really? Who? And where does it say that?

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/475684.page#4755203

This is where you can post your country and state, and hopefully find some games nearby

For some reason, it doesn't download right and I can't open it.

Could you send me a screenshot of the error you are receiving?

Page 168, "The Beast Arises". It explicitly says it's bigger than Ullanor.

Will it be possible for the packet to have a brief description of the worlds, such as desert, forest, sky scrapers or open fields?

Wouldn't you know, I didn't even think of that. How embarrasing. Hrumm... I'll sort it by the end of this week (have an assignment due Friday so it may get done Saturday) and update the OP with a new and improved packet

Alright thank you. I have one request can we make Kabaal in the Inon system a dense jungle that can not be surveyed well from orbit.

Probably, I don't see why not. And to anyone else, I am not going to do requests on planets, he gets one because he pointed out this deficit. I want to let my imagination run wild(ish)!

And if that sounds snappy its because I'm tired...I should go to bed.

Sweet I contributed lol

Not sure if this is the place to ask this, but will Vassal games count? I currently live in the middle of nowhere, where there are no LGS, or any place with a table for that matter.
Hell, I don't think anyway plays WH40k here.

How does one organize said battles?

When you report the battle, do you report the aftermath, or the events during the battle? As in, right a story as though the battle was currently happening?

Oh this is soo cool. My group is currently in the process of trying to through together a campaign (you konw, to make our matches worth something) would it be cool, if we use our results FOR this campaign as long as we meet the requirements from the packet? Because Id love to be part of this as well

Sounds good, as long as your campaign isn't imposing any extra rules on the game which are giving one side an advantage (and would thus affect our results). For example, if your campaign was in the final week, and that meant that all your games were played with Order (or Imperial or whatever sides you are using) starts with 250 points less because it is desperate times (a terrible example, but you know what I mean), then that wouldn't really be fair because the results would be biased before they reached us by the effects of your campaign. However, if they are just normal games, then go nuts and submit those too.

No our campaign is being planned to throw some curve balls, but which ever side had the previous victory, and thus more troops, the previous looser will also get a bonus from the list. So itll definitely even the matches out either way. AND we have a fairly split good guys, bad guys and others.

Yes, just follow the instructions outlined in the players packet for recording your battle results and reporting outcomes as normal.

How in depth should we discuss the aspects of the narrative with fellow gamers. Should we just not care or should we give an insight of how we imagine the narrative should be and try to convince others to stay on track. Or even better should this be a duty of the Warzone Commander so they can try to regulate their system and have easier communication with the the other factions (order, disorder, and other).

Can i join in?

I have uploaded in the other thread, but is it to late?

@Ihatenids


No its not too late, sign ups should run for another week at minimum.


@ Dirtwal

Thats really up to the people you are playing against. The narrative is changed by the campaign organizers after we receive the results from warzone commanders. So the warzone commanders and their people attempt to do X and the results guide the narrative.

Ok

Thanks, the orginizer is gonna post up when we start yes?

Heh, yes. We will post up when the event is going to start before it does.

hi

I was wondering a few things >.< (think i might have already been asked but i didn't see it specifically)

When playing against people who aren't also participating how does it work? do you just submit what happened?

Can i just write down my normal games i play (in correct format) and send them in?

Is there a point min/max that you can play?

Were would you submit the results of games?


sorry if they have already been answered

Cant wait to get this thing started

@ marmaduke

most of your questions have already been answered but ill post again, it may take a bunch of digging to find the answers.

Short answer: Yes

Long answer:
Playing against unregistered armies is where MOST the reports will come from. when we start you will choose a planet/system to be on. Any unregistered opponents will be explained as if you had "encountered" them on that planet /system. To play vs registered users (if you get the opportunity ) you will have to do some advanced planning because you will both have to be on the same planet/system.

there is no max / min point value but as stated in the player pack, an apocalypse will have a larger effect on the overall than a 500 pt skirmish in a grass field.

Download and read over the player packet in the OP of this thread. Reports will be delivered to the system warzone commander of whatever force you are with. If you move systems you will report to a new commander

@ Motyak
You may want to include a note in the player pack that they SHOULD report losses as well. Wins are great and all but if everyone on here won 100% of their games it would make for a really boring narrative.

Just so I can clarify: Depending on which system we're fighting on, we notify that particular order/disorder/other commander that we're on that planet, and then we notify them if we're moving to another planet/system, as well as the commander of the system we're moving to. Am I correct in stating this?

Yup. That way any battles you report on will affect the outcome of the planet they were fought over.

Is it wrong to already have a battle, fluff for said battle and an opponent ready?

No, its actually a pretty good idea. That way you can work on the bat rep, and have most of it done by the time the campaign starts, and make any fixes as necessary.
