So in our gaming group we are discussing if we should standardize our gaming nights. Maelstorm seems a bit luck based and even we don't play ITC, we like the fixed missions and terrain..

Wha are your thoughts on the following:

CA - 19 mission Crusade with the following add ons:
- No prisoners.
- Dominance.

This would make us create a standard terrain for both, but with roll for deployment type. Then you would have the basic linebreaker, first strike and slay the warlord. You score 1vp for every objective from T2 onwards you control at the start of your turn. In addition you get 1vp every turn if you killed more or hold more.

Balanced to make it standard competitive format? Or are there factions which would suffer too much?

Hmm, mostly 1,5k with occasional 1k/2k, but maybe 80% of time 1,5k so we can finish 3 games/eve. 2k games aren't beerhammer for us if you want to play many games. One thing we like too is to finish off the eve with a 2v2, those are usually epic, not as comp as one on one though. And if we have a price, it's always singles anyway.

What would be your pick for the 2nd mission or can we just make one more layer to the mission above like from T2 onwards you score a VP if you have more units in the enemy deployment zone.. "breach" at the the start of turn (t2 onwards) you gain a VP if you have more units in the enemy deployment than your opponent.

All these above missions try to give lil' edge on going 2nd.

If anyone have any custom games which have proven good, please tell.
