Not all planet they could b see used.
Say mountain ranges and valleys with narrow pass or such.
I'm aware of that limitation, and I would accept it. I love the idea of doing a Knight army (they seriously have some cool fluff), and I thought it would be an interesting idea.

I think we've voted TS and Smudge to do rolls and develope plot while I do the Cartography
<Dynasty> ~10500pts
War Coven of the Coruscating Gaze ~3000pts
Thrice-Damned Plague Corps ~3250pts
Admech (TBN) ~3500pts +30k Bots and Ulator

Honestly guys, the pleasure's all mine. It always good to see how you react to the obstacles I so violently throw your way. But I thank you regardless. I give my thanks to all of you guys, and to Righteousrob who started all this!

If it wasn't for me having an ample supply of Dirges than I would have too
Maybe view it as less of a board game to "win" and more of a story telling experience?
I never really saw it as competitive, but maybe I'm hugbox.
I'm definitely inclined to BC's philosophy on this, but I understand that it's not suited for everyone, and I am terribly sorry that I've been unable to deliver in terms of resolutions to conflicts. That said, I think there is one building up for the Hybrid plot arc (which I have finally hammered into some kind of shape - at last!)
War Kitten wrote:The roll system is why I somehow managed to blow up a PDF patrol in Feral Ork territory.
I'll be the first to admit, the numbers system is still flawed. Even with modifiers, it's rarely worth it to guess high or low, due to the bell curves. TS is very right in how 50 is the safest, with only two opportunities for major defeats. However, it's the best way I have of ensuring a somewhat varied patterns of results and not always straight wins. Of course, another method of determining wins was for actually playing games using themed lists, back when I did Sandfall and Grimdi. However, these were far less valid.

War Kitten wrote: Quite simply, I agree. And after the next Crusade ends, there's no reason why we can't just simply start another one. How well these Crusades work out is up to us. Kharne and Smudge may make the Crusade, but WE the players make it work
We also shape it, I mean the characters, decisions all feed into smudges choices of direction. He has to work with our choices just as much as we do his.
Any crusade is a two way process.
The Crusade, like any RPG, is pretty much "what you put in, you get out".
It's all about reciprocity - you get a result, you write it, think it over, decide another action, the GM gets a number, and then has to figure out what the hell just happened.
As all GM's I've met have said, the players are the most important part of any RPG. That's you guys.
Spoiler:
Regarding Crusade 2.0, we're setting it up to be far less big, more ground based with actual positioning tactics. No orbital support, with the Imperial Navy being represented by the GM. It would be a whole new kettle of fish!
As for me staying on as GM, I'm absolutely fine with stepping down, and someone taking over if they want. If they want to copy my style, I can let them know, or they could try out their own style. After all, I'm certainly not right!
So Smudge. How do you feel about me and TS both playing Imperial Knights? We intended to have a major rivalry (and enmity) going on between the two. Limited numbers of Knights on the ground (7 or less for both, with 1 or 2 staying in orbit to replace losses)

If I was, I wouldn't have an objection, it offers a new depth of tactical placement, as well as some modifiers depending on location.
We're still deciding on that. but I figured it would be wise to get an idea on how people would feel about 2 armies of giant death robots being on the planet

Without having an idea on what I'll be, I'll wait for now on where I want to go. Don't want to run tau and be surrounded by Imperials, or anything.
