I think that if there's any infighting between order players in Dakka Dakka, one player must declare who's fighting for Order and the other must declare they have either turned to disorder, or automatically count as an "Other" because they have the fewest numbers and would still function as "a disruption to the side of Order" as the "Other" faction is.

**IHateNids**

i have an upcoming game as well, just wondering if I could use that or does it have to be another player?

(Sorry if repearted question

)

Question 1: You have to play other players who signed up for this campaign in order to make progress in conquering planets,right?

Question 2: Would it maybe be possible to be told if there were any other players in your country?

Answer 1: Just updated the FAQ in the first post with that, you can play whoever you want (assuming consent is given) and submit the result and it'll count

Answer 2: Theres a thread for just that (which is starting to pick up bit by bit) right here, no other Denmarkians...don't know the word sorry, but they could come

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/475684.page I think that is the best we can do in terms of finding where everyone else is...

Ah, you get as many victory points as you win by....check the main rulebook, they are called victory points this edition aren't they? Could have sworn they were.

Say you win 8-3, say to the warzone commander 'It was a victory to Tau (Other) 8-3 over Imperial Guard (Order), a 5 Victory Point win.'

They affect the universe in different ways for each side
Order and Disorder - affect the imperial control ratings of planets the battles are set on
Tau - affect the rate of interference with the war efforts of the other sides
Necrons - differs as the campaign progresses, initially helps them get their World Engine up and running, and later, well, wait for later
Tyranids - ....nom.

I won't describe the actual maths behind it, because we are planning on keeping that from the general population so that anyone intending to cheat can't cheat as effectively, hopefully...hope that makes sense.

Will you be able to share it after the campaign?

**motyak**

Sure, when it closes I'll just throw the admin packet up in this same thread or in a 'thank you congratulations' thread or something, and you can all look.

**rustproof**

My attempts at downloading the pack have failed, can I pm my email for a attachment please.

**Lt.Soundwave**

Sure thing. sent it to me ill forward you the packet.

**IHateNids**

I cannot access the appropriate area of the linked-to site

Can you please PM me the necessary info (Dagon System)

**Lt.Soundwave**

Could you elaborate? I didnt understand your request.

**IHateNids**

The site you linked to I cannot access. I would like you to PM me the information regarding the 'other' HQ from the Dagon System please

**Lt.Soundwave**

if you pm me your email I can send you the players packet directly if you like

**IHateNids**

I have the player packet if thats all it is

**Lt.Soundwave**

I guess I am confused as to which link your having trouble accessing.

The zetaboards other forum posted in a different thread?

The dakka link a few posts up on this page or another?

**IHateNids**

the one to Zetaboards. It just says error and a bunch of code pops up

**Lt.Soundwave**

hmm.. try this link: http://w11.zetaboards.com/DDWWC_Others/index/

Same problem?

**IHateNids**

As soon as I click the Dagon System link this time, but I could get to Zeta

**Lt.Soundwave**

Ah, I understand.

Did you register on that forum?

**IHateNids**

No, I havent, why?

It dosent say you have to to read the page...

**Lt.Soundwave**

If you dont register the boards wont be viewable. You must first use the registration option and follow the instructions to make a forum account before you will be able to view the content of the posts.

**IHateNids**

Thanks, didnt know you had to register. I avoid it if I can usually

**Ricedaddy**

Is there a minimum number of game that are required for play in a window of time? Obviously I'd like to get in a good number, but sometimes life has other ideas, you know?

God no. Its heading into exam and assignment time for me, I'm probably going to get maybe 2 games in if this lasts a month. There is no minimum, every game counts. You can play one a week, one in the whole campaign, 3 a day, whatever you want and are able to do.

**The_Solitaire**

Just thought of something, not sure if it has been brought up or not, what happens if two Dakka members play but they are in different systems/planets to each other?

Their armies would have to be REALLY good shots.

That answer isn't helpful, they can't battle if they aren't on the same planet, however we don't want anyone to miss out, so just dice off between you, and the winner will be the one who the battle counts for.

For example, I (Order) play you (disorder, for the sake of the example anyway). I'm on Perdus, you are on Volkh I. 1-3 its on Perdus, 4-6 hits on Volk I. We roll a 3, so its on Perdus. You then win the game, so it'll count as a loss to me (and through me, Order) on Perdus, and it won't affect Volkh I.

Does that help clear things up?

**IHateNids**

Yes

**Commissar Merces**

Can you split forces? IE I have a sisters army and a guard army. Can I station both of these forces on separate planets?

**wyomingfox**

So let's say you have two "other forces" active on a planet one being Tau and the other being Nids. Now according to the player packet, Nids forces that earn VP on a planet result in the planet being consumed. Tau forces that earn VP on a planet result in the planet's assets and resources being destroyed. If that is the case isn't thier end goals the same...the destruction of the planet. Therefore, if both sides are earning victory points wouldn't that hasten the destruction of the planet earning the "Other" army a quicker victory and accomplishing both Tau's and Nids objectives sooner? In otherwords we should view them as helping each other rather than getting in each other's way...correct?

Also will you be giving the "Other" Army Comander hints as to where the Imperial Bio Research Facility is that the nids have to destroy?

**taudau**

Well, actually the Tau's objective is to keep the aligned factions busy. By destroying worlds the tau would only hasten a resolution of the conflict, since more forces would be concentrated in fewer places.

I was looking at it that the tau would target and destroy the machines, while the nids would eat anything biological. Therefore the nids eating most of the population means little, since the imperium could simply repopulate the world and remann the foundries et al. Thoughts like that lead me to think thay Tau and nids can both complete their objectives on the same world, since its two distinct targets.

I'll answer the rest of everyones q's later today
