Warmachine + Hordes + Maps = Campaign + Battleground

[GossWeapon]

Anyone up for another map-based campaign with a little twist? 

It would (try to*) use the actual world map, with factions starting off in their own respective "land" and work off of that, but it would have the actual results and rankings done by a points system, which will/would be enhanced by achievement points for doing epic and winning by non-traditional means (in otherwords not JUST trying to kill the warcaster) stuff in-game. for some examples Ive been throwing around:

"One shot, One kill." - destroy the enemy's warcaster in a single blow.
"Thanks for coming." - win on your turn 1.
"Leave no trace." - table the opponent.
"Eyes on the prize" - win by objective.
"Tunnel Vision" - kill the opposing warcaster without scoring a point.
"Thinking outside the box" - win via the kill box
"Lads got talent" - kill the warcaster with a grunt.
"If you want something done" - kill the opposing caster with yours.

each achievement would be given out once per player, as well as some that are not related to winning, and some related to multiple games (going undefeated or never winning).

and I swear to god, if you think about wisecracking and saying if you subtract battleground from both sides you have just a campaign, ill 1v1 you with a raw fish dog!

 (Warmachine + Hordes + Maps)/(Campaign + Battleground) = (Campaign + Battleground)/(Campaign + Battleground)

(Warmachine + Hordes + Maps)/(Campaign + Battleground) = 1

Yes, this is correct, there is one.

I'd be willing to play! I've been thinking about a campaign or something like that.

Would you have to make it every week? I'm currently on an every other week rotation?

[GossWeapon]

Well, I mean, Im pretty sure you could just do a "double" move or something and make up for the off weeks, the communitty really shouldnt have a problem as it doesnt really hurt or help them.  Or if people need a wah-mbulence, you can get average points or something. I see no real snags in showing up alternating weeks, just something we would discuss.

This is making me pretty pumped up to start caster #2 Termi-Tank

I will take part in this if everyone that doesn't work in Boston takes their midol before the event.

OMG YOU BOYS CAN BE SO CRUEL!!!

I need to find a good sized square world map to use, and then ill be ready the next week fo shoz homies. below im gonna post my tentative ideas in about a zillion posts.

[GossWeapon]

The Basics:

Every player will start with a single flag/banner (a 35 point list) in their own faction's homeland.
After each week, one more flag/banner can be added, to a maximum of three.
example:
Dave Goss
week 1 list - eAsphyxious
next week - adds terminus
next week - adds denny

The game will work off of a points system:
win a game - +5
truce - +3
lose a game - +1

thats the basics, everybody gets points just like in the 5th grade.  A truce is a draw, or a mutual acceptance.

Reward points:

So here are the achievements/bonuses you can earn (starred (*) items can be scored every game)

win by scenario* - +3
win by kill box* - +4 (this means you were involved in the other caster being out of the box, not just a noob leaving it there)
win by rage quit* - +1
win by assasination* - +2

instead of doing the bonus points, lets just say this: if you do something really awesome in a game, you get 5 points, this should be something that is really cool, not just rolling high or winning.  This way everyone can look back, win or lose and have a great moment to be proud of.

examples:
one shotting a warcaster/warlock
tabling the opponent
winning by scenario without ever targeting the opponent's army with an attack

you get it? something that takes skill or a really proper set up to do!
