ok im new to these types of campaigns can someone explain to me what the numbers mean

Lets use Lucan Sigma(6) 91% ++, Destruction 0%, Necron Control 0%


Lucan sigma (6 Victory Points total)

91% is the Imperial vs Chaos rating (plus tau)

Low end (chaos / tau control) -----------------------------------------High end (Total imperial control)

Destruction (Nom nom by nids) is at 0%

Necron Control to obtain their objectives is 0%

As more battles are fought, these numbers will decrease or increase in size depending upon the reports.

Sorry, Swampy, but that was about as clear as mud.

What I believe a 91% rating means is that of the battle reports that were sent in, 91% of the total victory points were in the hands of Imperial players.

I may be wrong, but I am under the imprssion that "om nom nom" is listed as "tyranid" and "destruction" refers to the Tau trying to blow stuff up and make a mess this time?

Otherwise why would Perdus feature both?

Perhaps the Tyranids have some sort of secondary goal on Perdus?

The Percentage rating is based on how much control each faction has over a planet/system.

Ex.
Perdus(10) 78% --, Destruction 13%, Necron Control 0%, Tyranids 9%

Planet Name: Perdus
Worth How many victory points?:(10)
How much of the planet is controlled by the Imperium/Forces of Order?: 78%
How much is controlled by the forces of Destruction?: Destruction 13%
How much is controlled by Necrons?: Necron Control 0%
How much is controlled (or nom nom'd) by Tyranids?: Tyranids 9%

Well, looks like the numbers are paying off for the forces of Order. Glad the Necron strike worked (wonder on how much overkill we did).
Quick question, did every planet start off last week at 50% control or 100% control for order?

They started at different control ratings, largely depending on how close the planet was to the centre of the Imperial Control, the strength of its radical elements, etc. Anywhere from 40 to 99% I think.

Long live the Triarch!
Lol....the planet disappeared....?
niiiice
Will there be fluff to accompany this report, if so, i'd love to read it

My gaming group has been battling hard on Volkh Secundus(6) 100% ++, Destruction 0%, and scored many huge wins for the Order side. Looks like some great battles on Perdus(10) 78% --, Destruction 13%, Necron Control 0%, Tyranids 9% and we are going to join the fray! TO WAR!

Yup, I had one of the most epic games I've ever played in the defence of Perdus... I'll be posting a Bat Rep on the Order forums and Dakka for it in the next couple days.

I've been waiting to see these numbers.

Numbers are lovely, i would love to see that fluff report

Its not too bad, for the most part order is taking a beating all around and thats what were all here for after all .

It was a pretty hectic game!
Be prepared though, worthy Imperial defenders; the next time the Tau assault Perdus there will be destruction incarnate on your precious world!

I look forward to it. I'm tempted to have a rematch at some point, maybe with you as the Defenders and us as the Attackers... dunno though, we'll see.

Still trying to figure out how Lamarno got destabilized a bit. The other Ork players must have really pulled their weight, because I got crushed in the game I reported

Judging from the two plus's Lamarno(4) 82% ++ I'd say Lamarno has got more stabilised, I lost my last battle there as well, we'll just have to try harder.

We are currently double checking the numbers, we've noted a possible inconsistency and will be redoing the numbers to ensure accuracy. Expect the Narrative to follow

Well, I've got some more bikez, so maybe this time I can get a game mode that doesn't involve footslogging infantry over a 48" no man's land and having them have to walk onto the board

Due to unforseen circumstances, I will not have access to a computer for roughly a month and will have to resign from the position of Unaligned commander of Dagon. I apologize for the inconvenience. Have fun guys (And to my unaligned allies, crush the inferior species, all of them).

Boy, I just realized that I goofed pretty hard. I made a huge point of notating out every detail of a battle I played, and it didn't occur to me until turn 6 that I was writing it for an army I didn't sign up for the campaign. Could I post it anyway as Disorder win (since my ally for the game was Chaos) and just say that it was a part of my ongoing fight where my Orks are stationed (who are signed up for the campaign)?

Normally I wouldn't care, but we actually stayed at the FLGS until half an hour before the store closed, and it's the last big team game my little group will be able to do for a while.

Drop motyak or Red a pm so they can weigh in on that. Off hand Im inclined to vote no. Not that I dont understand where your coming from but more from the potential can of worms. That being said I am not against it if our other organizers see no issue.

The campaign fluff has been written and is being voted on right now for any changes or edits. Gromgor has stepped up for us and written an excellent piece. I think you will all enjoy it

We wont let you down bud.

Kelt you think you can take over his theater?

I see my lack of being able to get any games in is helping.

Since the week 1 update is not yet done, does that mean week 2 wont start until the update is released? cuz its almost the end of the solar 2nd week

Should be coming soon

Then we can begin nailing Week 2's together, after week 2's results are all in.

Here is the first official fluff update from week 1:

"What do you mean it's gone?” the commander spoke quietly from behind a balled fist which rested over his mouth.

“I'm sorry sir, it is simply gone. Our reports have confirmed this, as well as all recon ships we have sent to investigate,” the trembling attendant took a deep breath, wishing that he could shrink under the piercing gaze aimed at him from behind the massive oak desk in front of him.

“Define 'gone' for me, boy...” the voice rasped in concentrated effort.

“Masali no longer exists, Commander, the Necrons have destroyed it we presume...”

“I am trying to be patient with you, Attendant, but you are making it extremely difficult for me. How do you not know if a planet was destroyed? I think it would be obvious?”

“Yes sir, I mean it would be, but uh the problem is that there was no debris so it's difficult to ascertain the, uh... true fate of Masali” the young man swallowed, making a sound that seemed to reverberate off the walls in the cold quiet that radiated from the officer who continued to stare at him.

“Are there no witnesses to what happened? No recordings from nearby ships?”

“All of the Imperial citizens were evacuated along with the majority of our guardsmen and Astartes were reassigned to nearby planets once we determined that the Necrons had taken the world, my Lord.” The attendant's tongue grew dry and he began tripping over words in a rush to get them all out “Only a, uh, token fleet was left to monitor activity and prepare for the larger strike cruisers to enter the planetary orbit. However, when our sensors picked up a large energy spike from that sector of space, we tried to contact the remaining fleet and no-one responded sir. A few of the ships' remains were discovered by our recon ships, but not all were accounted for, sir. The other ships were gone, just like the planet sir. We don't know what has happened to them..."

“You cannot be serious, boy. Planets do not just disappear!”

“It appears this one has, Lord Commander” a new voice spoke from behind the attendant. The officer turned his gaze past the trembling youth in front of him to the new speaker who had just entered the room. Swirling white robes covered a golden breastplate, and an aged face with a cybernetic eye, topped with long strands of gray hair stared back at the commander. An amulet chained around the speaker's neck announced the reason for his presence.

An Inquisitor, Emperor's Light! I should've known! The officer's mouth tightened.

“You are dismissed, boy,” the Inquisitor didn't even bother looking at the attendant as he scurried out of the room, his face a pale sheen of white.

“Sir, I had not expected your presence, or else I would have made better... preparations for your arrival.”

“Do not concern yourself, Commander, I will be gone before I could truly enjoy your hospitality.” The Inquisitor shook his head. “Let us dispense with the pleasantries, shall we? I am Inquisitor Malachus of the Ordo Xenos, and I have been given a simple, if unpleasant task that I must perform: That of informing the commanders of this sector to not concern themselves with Masali, that is now under the jurisdiction of my Order, and to ensure that cooperation with whatever means of coercion I deem necessary. Is that understood?” The wizened face would've cracked stone, and perhaps the commander himself if he'd allowed it.

“What of my men that disappeared with Masali? Are they no longer my concern anymore?” He barely managed to keep the feral growl out of his voice.

“I hope you will not make this difficult, Lord Commander, your Emperor is demanding your cooperation. Need I invoke His wrath to convince you of the sense of these orders?” Malachus narrowed his eyes. “It would be a shame if a man of your caliber, with such a sense of duty to his soldiers be the cause of many more of them dying for disobeying the Emperor's commands, wouldn't it?”

The commander's jaw clenched, and the audible sound of teeth grinding filled the silent room with quiet malice.

“Yes sir, it would be a shame. What are your orders for me now?”

“Very good, Commander, I commend your integrity and your faith. As to your orders, you may go wherever you please. The Generals here in the Venta System have need of your assistance on Perdus, perhaps, or maybe Korsk or Enpivin. Though the Antropos and Inon systems are struggling as well, if I were you, I would hope that the Ordo Hereticus do not look closer at those systems, I fear that a baptism by fire would be close behind such inspections. Perhaps you should look to Valos in the Dagon System to inspire your faith. It doesn't matter where you go, just so long as you go through the proper channels.” The Inquisitor's face was wooden and hollow, his voice flat and matter-of-fact.

“Perhaps I will, Lord Inquisitor.” Emotions battled across the commander's face.

“I thank you for your diligence and faithfulness, Lord Commander. I will take my leave.” The Inquisitor turned to leave, then stopped and turned his head, “the Emperor protects.” The commander didn't reply as the doors slid shut with an ominous finality behind the departing figure.

********************************************************************************
Somewhere between the darkness and shadow, something stirred. Something may in fact be a misnomer, for this thing held no substance. It had many labels, though. Some had called it Abomination, Sin, Death, Destruction, Hatred, Fear, Chaos, and these were only the names given by the tongues of the currently existing races. In reality it was something that existed beyond all of those titles. It looked throughout the realities as they arraigned themselves in what could be called its periphery. Some part of it wallowed with glee at the bloodshed and fear that emanated from a certain piece of space occupied by a petty series of creatures each equally focused on one thing: Dominance. What could be thought of as a squirm of glee the part of the conscience that was fixated on these small pieces of time and space looked out over the worlds being held there in place by fluctuating laws of science and math, labels given by the ancient inhabitants of those worlds, long since fallen into disuse.

The abomination watched as legions of those carrying banners of various incarnations of destruction spilled blood upon the ground. The warrior portion of the conscience cried out and roared for more, the lustful presence groaned inwardly with pleasure as it watched erudite races of cruel origins gorging themselves on distilled blood flowers, working themselves into frothy feats of excess in lust and violence. Viruses spilled out across landscapes, and eldritch energies cascaded across worlds. In a word: glorious! Or irrelevant, depending on the fixations of the ever-changing creature. It gave the equivalent of a sigh and slid back into its own reverie. For now it was pleased with the present destruction being presented it, but more would be required at a later date.

The Venta system has been hurt. Perdus had seen a Chaos and Ork invasion and now stood in conflict as the brave warriors on that planet held their ground, giving inches only once they were soaked through with righteous blood! The other planets of the system shone like beacons to the faltering worlds of the Venta Majoris Sector.

In Dagon, a bloody benediction was given to the harsh invasions of the Chaos forces on Valos. What had initially shown as a tragedy has been transformed into a glorious victory in the ongoing campaign for the forces of Order! Hera had seen its share of bloodshed as well, but the vigilant warriors defended the hive world with the courage of the heroes and saints of legend!

However, all is not completely well in this system, Molov is under siege! The silent murderers known as Necrons have descended on the populace there. While initial reports seemed to show random attacks, new intelligence indicates that the mechanical enemy appears to be searching for something, but what?

Antropos stands closest to the fires of Chaos. Uralan and Rellia Secundus stand in almost open rebellion to the Emperor. They are a loaded barrel waiting for the spark to ignite. Expeditionary forces have been sent to spread the word of the Living Emperor's Light. No reports have been heard from those teams. Not much is known as to what happens on those planets... Are they decoys to divert the Imperium's efforts? Or is there a threat heretofore unseen lurking on that planet?

The other planets of the Antropos system offer up their prayers for their sisters lost in the darkness, hoping that they will find their ways back to the Light. Follow in their example.

Inon soldiers on, relatively safe in its march through this bloody campaign. It seems all is safe on this front. May the Emperor's will continue to keep it so.

Prayers to the Emperor are mandatory for these systems, any found not in accordance with this mandate will be punished. All workers must report to their duties as specified in their commandments. The Machine God will protect as the Emperor's warriors defend you. That is all.
