http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 40k campaign and was wondering if I could get some input from you guys. The idea is to have a set amount of points (say 10,000) with it you buy fluffy army.
The campaign will be setup on a risk style map in which you get to place your armies. I think I would limit the amount of points per area on the map to try and stop balling up (say 2k points).
What I'm hoping to get out of it is a 40k game that has both strategy and tactics and the unbalance that the game may have will be on the player for getting his troops setup/moved incorrectly.
I would be doing this with a friend so the setup and time required is not a big issue. Do any of you guys have experience with some thing like this? If so got any tips for making this both fun and at least sorta balanced? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700301/8854034.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700301/8854034.page GMT
That way you play out a normal game of risk and supplement the battles with 40k matches at the specified points levels, is that what you are going for?

so a game of say 300pt vs 400-500pt could still end in an upset, but something like 2000pt vs 100pt would almost be not worth playing.

Would you take casualties from the actual 40k game into account? EG if the winner (or loser) finishes the game with say 340pts out of their starting 700pts that would round down to 300 so they lose 4 infantry? alternatively this gives the loser of the game if it ended before a tabling the chance to still have 1 or 2 infantry left alive on a zone.

If you take that route however the game would take a very long time to play considering how many attacks can happen in a round of risk. Maybe you would need a rule where the loser is just wiped out or their surviving infantry retreat to the next zone?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700301/8854209.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700301/8854209.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700301/8854364.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/700301/8854364.page GMT PC games but instead of a computer figuring out who wins, you use the Risk way of deciding who wins (roll an appropriate number of dice for each side, highest dice wins etc). That way you only have to play the games you really want to or are most important such as a region with a specific resource or special effect.
