Warhammer 40,000 Escalation
The Lords of Chaos are fickle and random. They have picked from the bravest of the brave of each race across the galaxy, plucked them from their homes and deposited them across the surface of Glebe.
How does it work?Decide which Force Organisation Chart slots you want for game one. Play some games. Each one you win gives you one (or sometimes more) slots. You can change how you use the slots from one game to the next, but not the slots themselves. For example, my starting army will be two squads of Chaos Space Marines and a Bike Squadron, two Troops and a Fast Attack. Let's assume I do well in game one, and come first out of the four players. That will give me two more slots. I choose to add an Elite and a Heavy Support. For game two I change the Bike Squadron for a Raptor Squad, add a Daemon Prince, a Dreadnought and a Land Raider. I must add an HQ for free, without using any slots, as at least 1 HQ is compulsory for game two onwards. Let's say I lose this game (yeah, cos that ever happens to Poi) I have to use the same FOC (1 HQ, 2+ Troops, 1 Elite, 1 Fast Attack, 1 Heavy Support) but instead of my earlier choices I switch to a Sorcerer, 2 CSM squads, Possessed, Spawn and Havocs. Can't make all the games?Don't worry. If you miss 3 or more games, you can have 1 free slot for every 3 games you've missed, plus 1 extra if you miss game 4.Scenarios5th edition has 3 scenarios and 3 deployments, making a possible 9 combinations. I will announce which will be used at the start of each round. Who wins?Who cares? Really! A campaign isn't about winning or losing, it's about finding an excuse to play lots of games. |
