Ok after putting this to GROTS members and having them agree, Da'Nite GROTS will be putting details up about the campaign we have started. once i have finished the map i will put pics up and update them after each week. maybe a few pics of games. plus this will give the players in the campaign somewhere to egg each other between weeks.

So a breif run down of the map/ players. we have 7 players in with 15 Stellar bodies ( Planets & space stations) to be hold plus around 70 sectors of open space as well. i wont bore you all with more then that for now. so on to last nites happen's. once we generated the Planets, we ramdenally picked starting points( Yes Shuan we did one for you) the games begun.
Phil took on his son Micheal. Orks Vs Gaurd it was a heated battle , with many rules clash's, but in the end with one objective each it was a draw. no getting a sector

Luke played Adrain. Choas Vs Dark Eldar, no matter how much fire power those Choas boys could throw at the Dark Eldar they just couldn't stop them. holding onto one objective and flying raider's into the other to contist meant a won for Adrain. taking a sector next to his fleet base.

Next i took on Jason. Orks Vs Tau with the Tau putting up a great fight, only to be swarmed by the boys, with one objective the orks win. Till this morning when i went over my list and realised i had used my 1750pts for a 1500pt game. My bad.... have given the win to Jas now as i think he would have won if my list was right.


so after one round of fighting Adrian and Jason have been able to start building they empires. and am going back to school to learn to count again.


cheers all Rob.c

So the Campaign has fully kicked off now. With a late entry from Rob.H from the club, we have 8 players duking it out for the galaxy. below is the map as it stands( and yes i know it looks like it was done by a 3 yr old, but i didn't know how to set one up on the PC, so we have the old coloured in type). scratch that, i couldn't get a link to work . will have to talk to one of the Computer guru's for help. but to give you an idea of what went on this week-

Game 1 we had Jason's Tau take on Adrain's Witch Cult for control of a Planet( the Planet giving its controller the option to take Fast as Troops). With some of the best shotting rolls i have every seen, the Tau Killed/ Destoryed over half of the enemy in the first turn. And though Adrain tryed to make a come back, his Witch Cults just couldn't do it. Victory ( And a Plsnet ) to jason.

Game 2 has Marines fighting their fallen Brothers as Micheal loyalest took on Shuans Choas Marines. The battle was hard fought, with a few rules queires. but in the end neither side could get an upper hand, so the game ended in a draw, neither side losing anything.

Game 3 was me Vs Rob.H. Fighting for Planet 5( giving its controller Night Fight rules). My orks charged at Marines standing before them , only to be cut down with some great shooting. of course i could say it was all luck on Rob's side, but really it was bad depolyment by me and good use of cover by Rob. Win to Rob.H and a planet. and i lose my fleet for using it to jump across map to fight for this planet.

So after a second round of fighting Jason has jumped to the lead controlling 2 planets & 2 Sectors, looks like the greater good is the way to go. and i am holding up the rear, having now lost my fleet when i lost to Rob.H i am struck within my own boarders. not good....



will get some action pics up next round.and hopefully the map to make this all clearer

cheers Rob.c

its good to see the other members of this campaign putting up details here. hint hint hint. weel what i have for you now are a couple of pics of the space station complex in building. With some people have Space stations instead of planets i felt that we needed a board for game in the stations.
so this is a bit of a modeling dairy, but as its for the campaign so i thought it wouldn't matter in here.

Pic 1 is of one section with an Ork warboos and 2 Nobs to give an aide of size.

the next one is off 3 sections together
http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb202/t...ead-01/1112.jpg

the board will have a total of 15 section,each 12' x 12' , making a 3'' x 5'' foot board. this will leave room around the edge for the attack entry points which will be 6' deep. am hoping to have one painted up this week....

Those space station things are looking to be really good. Id love to see how they work in action. Could provide some interesting scenarios.

Thought I'd save Rob some time this week (and humiliation) by doing the latest update for this past weeks campaign games.

Mitch's Tau took on Adrian's Dark Eldar in a mighty struggle for a spare sector. Adrian held on tightly to the draw with only 1 Dark Eldar warrior surviving the Tau onslaught, and passing his morale check before games end.

Michael's Guard took on the Mighty Chaos forces of Shaun for an unoccupied planet. The game was hard fought, with both sides taking heavy casualties, and with a suprise upset, Michael narrowly took the win from the mighty chaos forces.

Game 3 saw Rob's Green Tide take on my Word Bearers warband for a spare sector. The Orcs came out strongly, using speed as their advantage and spreading their front across the table. But the might word bearers crushed on through, wiping out mob after mob, and claiming the victory over the falling back orcs. Special mention goes to the brave chaos marine unit who charged sacrificially into the killer cans, rolling to hit with 10 krak grenades, and hitting with 5 (on 6's) then killing one and stunning the other, and holding up the unit for 5 combat phases.

Been a bit behind with updates here. but to put it bluntly Jas AKA Floater is taking over the galaxy.. he has know taken over 1 planet 1 Station and 7 sectors of the map. followed by both Shaun and Micheal with 2 planets and 3 sectors each. Rob.H is holding onto his 2 planets and 2 sectors, while the rest of us sit on 1 planet/station each with only 1 or 2 sectors each.. heres a photo of the map, its not to clear but see what you can amke of it..

or this

cheers rob.c

by the way the planet with 2 sectors in the bottom corner is me.

I need to add another sector, played Mitch last week and just beat him....

Well this week we only had 4 players turn up for a game. Jas , Greg , Rob.H and myself( its at my place so i had to be there!!!). since there were so few of us Rob.h suggested a 2 on 2 game. so the powers of the evil faced off with the good guys. Grey knights with marines fighting Choas marine with Orks. it was a bit of a blood bath with the game ending by turn 3. with only 5 grey knight terminiters left to face a deamon prince, greater deamon choas mairne and 30 odd ork boys , 7 deffkoptas and 12 burna boys....
need less to say Jas and i both won secters this week. Rob.H had to pick one out that he had won off a game against Mitch during the week. so here is the map, the cross bones are the new areas...


am so making a come back....

OK i haven't had a chance to re-do the photo yet , but a couple of games have been played. jas has taken to more sectors moving down to be next to Micheal home world. Rob.h And Mitch played out a game which Rob.h won , after which he wanted to take one of Mitch's sector, but i forgot one of the rule we made for the campaign.( sorry Rob) but if you want to attack a player sector then you must say so before the game and the defender gets to pick the table/terrain/ and depolyment. no matter which mission is rolled. so rob.H am going to need you to pick a free sector to take over.
Myself i have had a good run winning a sector next to the group i have, then playing a game and winning the last free planet. no bonus for the planet but at lease am out the that one corner now.

cheers all rob.c

Pst lets take out Adrian.
-Michael

(this was a joke, Adrian is my brother for those that don't know)

I think its time for the mighty sleghhammer to come out (armourd battle group)
(not called Heavey armour for nothing)

Just kidding, using ARC list

Well we have had one bloody week of combat this pass week and the galaxy isn't looking as big as it was. As it always seems to be Jas has been ripping though armies and now has 3 enemy home worlds he can attack without risking a fleet. young Mitch and Rob.H are getting in each other way. all the while the i have been grabbing up another planet for my self and a new sector. even Phil has now get an extra sector thanks to a game against Rob.h which we all thought he had won. but after reveiw things with the next day, Rob.h and i reallised that the game should have been a tie, plus i had given Rob.H some bad ideas towards the end of the game. which if he hadn't followed he would have won the game. so instead of taking that sector back off Phil, am going to allow Rob.H to pick a new sector next time his here for a game.

anyway heres a look at the map. and next week am going to make sure i take some pics of the games to put up here.



well thats it for me.

Rob.C
