BaldoBeardo Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Anyone run/participated in of these?I've got a fledgling idea for one, key thing being a declare moves / resolve required games step each "turn" (season?).Curious as to how many battleplans you were able to incorporate before it got too weird...

Double Misfire Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 In all seriousness, have a look at the General's Compendium the US White Dwarf team put together during 6th ed WFB. It's been a while and I'm a little rusty on exactly what's in there, but I remember a load of pretty great rules for map based campaigns. You could even bring them up to speed for games of AoS by introducing a special realmgate territories that players could use to hop armies to each other across the map.

Lucio Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Map based campaigns tend to work best with 2 players, so you can build the flow between areas up as armies clash and much like a fencing dual or the example campaign in the General's Handbook go back and forth. For multiple players divide up the map into battleplans, with 2 per player. Split half the players into attackers and half into defenders. Round 1 the attackers pick a defender's territory to attack and play that battleplan. If the attacker wins, he gets that territory and remains an attacker. If the defender wins or it's a draw they become an attacker for the next round. If you run out of territory, you become a roving band who can attack anyone, attacker or defender but must score a major victory to take a piece of terrain. At the end of your various rounds points are awarded for most fun game, by territory held and by victories won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HobbyHammer Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Check out the Narrative Gaming in the Age of Sigmar section on http://hobbyhammer.com for some map campaigns, and other various things I have created one the last few years. Got another online map campaign coming soon, going to again be free to join and partake in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaldoBeardo Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Thanks for the map campaign stuff. Maybe needed to be a little clearer? Was looking more at using a map as normally understood but with generals issuing sealed "orders" that feed into a matrix scenario generator.E.g. general A decides to invade general B.General B has decided to invade A, so a standard battle scenario.Or B declares he'll anticipate an attack, so it results in "The Trap", or he decides to reinforce and that plays "The Ritual", etc. Etc.Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it reads you have a overworld map. You make your moves (or commands) on the map and your actions (Invading ambushing defending etc) will dictate what battles you play out with your opponent?

BaldoBeardo Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Exactly, yes. [emoji3] My other post was that in total war I was normally more fascinated with taking stuff over without actually fighting...Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
