Well, I really wanted to make it out for this one but unfortunately I have to work that Saturday morning and am unlikely to finish in any decent time frame.

Can't help but notice those documents are a little bare-bones presentation-wise. While there's nothing wrong with that, of course, I figured I'd offer to format them for you guys, since you've always been so nice to me and my people I certainly wouldn't mind helping out in my own little way (especially since I can't be there). I have about a thousand different 40k-themed templates I can copy and paste them into in about 20 minutes, tops. I recently announced my inevitable retirement from Evil Dice so these things aren't going to see much use up my end of things.

Bikers should be fine. The general idea is to discourage hiding in metal bawkses.

Don't worry, I won't be in vehicles to claim objectives either!

(Besides, fairly solid rumors you won't be able to claim objectives while in vehicles in 6th, another rumor is that vehicles won't be able to contest either).

Nice!   "Real man objectives" for mission 3.  That's like 1 of the missions at this past TempleCon, which I think is the best 40k mission I've played... here's hoping it's how objectives work in 6th!

I'll throw you on the alternates list, Tiago.  Chances are fair you'll get in.

Edit:  Tiago, you're in.  I'll email you now.

I like it.  A little clarification on mission 3.....it says "Score 1 point for each objective you control in this manner throughout the game. "  That speak to me of it not needing to be controlled at the end of the game, but are we talking you score one point a round, or if you have discovered it, it's "lit" for you and you can move on to the next one?

You will score 1 point per objective you control in the manner described, at the time described.

At the end of the game, compare your "score" to your opponents "score."  If you score is higher, you win and receive 8 points.  If the scores are the same, it's a draw and you both receive 4 points.  If your score is lower, you lose and score 0 points.

I suppose I should change the phrase "score points" to "earn points" so that no one is confused by seeing the same phrase used to describe two different things.


I hope this helps.

I'm sorry, either you thought I was asking something else or I didn't understand your answer.  I do understand that you're simply trying to outscore your opponent, and who ever wins that will get the points. (which is zero sum, and I like)

Let me rephrase:  Can you score on the same objective more than once?  Can I score a pt for an objective one turn, the next turn, and so on, or is it once I score an ojective once, am I done with it, and should move on?

I.e. if there are 5 objectives, can I score a max of 5 objectives, or 5x6 (or however many rounds there is?

Oh, I thought that part was clear.  ;)

You score points for objectives you control at the end of your opponents turn, after their turn 2.

It'll be scored twice each round.  Once for you, and once for your opponent.

Just to be super clear, yeah, in a 6 round game with 5 objectives there will be a total of 25 objective points available.

That would be awesome, Rob.  Feel free!

These types of questions are important.  I will edit the final version to make it as clear as possible.

Thanks for the feedback, Matt.

I really like the scoring for this event. If this sort of thing continues, I may actually start going to these again.
