Warmachine + Hordes + Maps = Campaign + Battleground

[GossWeapon]

How you move:

hopefully, the map can be made into squares in a way that this works out:

every new week, you will get to make a move a number of squares on the board  equal to your flag/banner's speed (if the map is too small, itll be half that, rounded up).

you may always spend points to get an extra square of movement
maximum points you can spend is: 
you flag/banner's command

this is of course, a calculated risk, spending points in hope of the gamble paying off.

you can only engage adjacent flags/banners.

What about having an enemy Caster burn to death for an acheivment

[GossWeapon]

that would be pretty cool, twice

If this goes on for quite a while, perhaps we could end it with something spectacular like a week of 50 point games, or a giant apocalyptic game where roughly 16 men enter, no man leaves. rated R, starring Mel Gibson.

Who knows though...

oh also, since theres been a lot of new players showing up, YOU CAN PLAY.  Everyone pretty much has a battlebox list, and you can use that as an alternative list for all of your banners.  Teaching a brand new player (first game) will give you a bonus of 10 points, however, win/losses will not count.  It WILL count if you play someone who is on the map, but you dont get the 10 points, you get it or do I have to rant more?

I like this a lot. I've always wanted to try a campaign. I'll make sure I bring the equivalent of a Troll battlebox every week too.

Will we have the ability to change lists week to week? Also, will we get bonus points for building our own flags and objectives?

[GossWeapon]

Sure, if you can come with a reasonablly artsy fartsy objective and flag/banner/marker(s) you can get 5 points for the objectives (make 3) and flag/etc/etc/etc (make 3) each.

you cant change it after you "deploy it" on the map, but do you really change your 35 point list with the same warcaster THAT much? we can discuss it.  plus, you get three casters/warlocks.  I will also allow you to run multiple factions, so ian could run say khador, protectorate and everblight one flag/e/e/e/e/e per faction, I see no biggie there.

also, there will be scaling for games:
25 points = .5 * points
35 points = 1 * points
50 points = 1.5 * points

cool beans? cool beans.

All i need is a poster sized map of immoren, and we can do this.

now I play, the waiting game...

[Moosifer]

You had me at deputy dawg....

[GossWeapon]

so... theres officially not a poster of Immoren. 

ideas? maybe someone will draw a map of Immoren, I could do that, but itd be bad, I could also photocopy the picture in the book, which Im certain is either illegal or just not big enough.

best thought? make my own map that we can say has been discovered and all the factions are fighting over for various reasons.

[jfoodmaster]

How big does the map need to be?

[GossWeapon]

probablly like a small poster sized one, the map in the book is good, but, like, too small.  This is why the consideration of a homemade map might be good.

[GossWeapon]

Perhaps we could use our imaginations for a second... I have a map of dark sun for dnd, but with some fixing up, it could be the new ladn where the factions are fighting over for a valuable rescource, such as oil.

anybody like the idea?
