Summer Escalation Campaign Rules [BETA]

Campaign will start 7/16

Phases:
1 - "Border Wars" - 1000 pts

3 - "Desperate Gambits" - 2000 pts
4 - "Total War" - 2500 pts
Each phase will last 2 weeks.

Scoring:
Scoring will be based on total VPs. Please refer to the October Tales rulespack for scoring detail. If you play multiple games per week you can elect your highest score, however, you will be encouraged to play multiple opponents.

If you have a fully painted army (3 colors, based) by the END of your campaign phase you will receive 1 bonus victory point.

Score submission
"Your Name - Score/Side / Opponent Name - Score/Side"

ex. Capnwoodrow - 3 CP Destruction / Anyguy Elsewhere - 17 CP Order.

Scores will be reported on a forum thread set up when the campaign starts.

Grudging

Once per phase a player may issue a grudge against another campaign player. A player may not grudge the same player more than once per campaign. The only exception to this is that the loser is free to re-grudge the winner of a grudge match.

If one or both players are unable to set a time to grudge within the phase then it is considered null. There is no penalty for inability to show to a grudge (other being labelled a coward). This will also not count against the single grudge rule above.

After the victor is determined in the grudge match the grudger will nominate a single magical item, character, or spell from the BRB that the grudgee is using or has used in the past. If the grudgee wins then he will nominate a single magical item, character, or spell from the grudger's army.

The winner of the grudge match can declare A) the loser must forfeit the nominated item, character, or spell for the next week of the campaign or B) issue no penalty to the loser, but he will claim 250 VP for taking his opponent's head.

Army Construction

You will field a valid army up to the point limits of the current phase using the BRB rules.

You are not required to set a specific list, only to provide a copy of it to your opponent if requested. If you want to play six games in one week with six different lists, go ahead. It's about figuring out what you want to play!

Composition

No special characters will be allowed. This is simply due to the fact that almost no tournaments allow them, so you're better off running lists without them for practice.

There are no banned items. If you use the power scroll, book of hoeth, or cupped hands people will make faces...but people always make faces, right?

Awards:
Highest VPs + a fully painted army: Best General
Overall VPs: Warlord
Best paint (players choice): Artisan
Lowest VPs: Under-hog

Here lies the Sudlichden. A lawless, bandit-ridden land south of the Empire and that hides in the shadows cast by the World's Edge Mountains.



Map Key
-Blue Circle: an area controlled by the forces of Order
-Red Circle: an area controlled by the forces of Destruction
-Green Square: River ford/bridge
-Black circle: A city

1. Fruhlingburg - recently the site of the discovery of the Pandoran Sphere, an artefact rumored to be a vessel of the Old Ones that is said to link our world to the realm of Chaos itself.

2. Munze - an independent merchant city relying on trade down the Irullen river. Wishing to avoid occupation and/or destruction they have pledged neutrality to the banners of both Order and Destruction..for the time being...

3. Bose's Point - bandit refuge populated by deserters and criminals. Occupation will be no easy task, but less than dubious leaders could certainly find those willing to sell their swords for the right price.
