Random Mission Generator
This generator is designed to be as simple as possible while adding a little "spice" to
playing War-hammer 40k. It uses the best ideas out of the Battle Missions book, while
eliminating some the army specific, unfair or just plain useless ones.
If you have any questions about how a rule works, always defer to the Battle missions book.
