DisruptiveConduct Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 40k 8th Edition Escalation League Week 2 Mission *************************************************************************** On a tip from @Sugarlessllama, I bought the new Open War card deck from the Portland Game Store tonight. I'm a big fan of easy ways to make things different and these are pretty good for that. I did some random draws and cherry picked what I thought would go well for the League. Thus: MISSION 2 Heretic vs. Traitor: Burn and Pillage Two factions war over belief. The lust for war will rage until nothing is left. This battle is a crusade of faith and there are no prisoners. Armies: All armies shall be 750 points or 38 PL, Battleforged, must qualify for a Patrol Detachment (if you can fit more, go for it! Battalions are legit, too). Battlefield: Setup terrain on a 4x4. Make sure there is a variety of terrain as the Advanced Rules contain entries for craters, ruins, battlefield debris and other cool things (all of which should be in the terrain room or tubs)! Deployment: Divide the table in half down the middle (even diagonal if you want). Roll off and winner chooses Deployment Zone A or B. Place 6 objectives. Winner of deployment places first. Place objectives anywhere in YOUR deployment zone no less than 6" from any other objective and any table edge. Alternate deploying units with winner of deployment placing first. Deploy units so that they are wholly within your deployment zone and more than 9" away from any enemy models. Objective: A player can burn and pillage any enemy objective markers that they control at the end of their turn, one objective per game turn. Remove the objective marker after doing so. The first player to burn and pillage all three enemy objective markers wins the battle. Game Length: 5 turns. Whoever burned and pillage the most objective markers rolls a die at end of turn 5. On a 4+, the game is over. On a 1, 2, or 3, the game goes on to turn 6. Special Rules: Acid Rain: Subtract 1 from all hit rolls made for shooting attacks and subtract 1 from all Advance and charge rolls. Roll a die at the start of each battle round after the first. On a 4+, the rain stops (if it was raining in the last round), or starts again (if it was not raining in the last round). ***I will have copies of the mission printed out and available at the club.*** 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikin Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Is this a 500 pts / 25 PL as listed here, or 750 pts / 38 PL as on the plan of escalation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this, do you mean we could do another detachment as well as the Patrol Detachment, or move up to the Battalion Detachment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I want everyone to be bringing the basics of HQ and 3 troops before adding more to their army. This way you are free to take the airstrike detachment or whatever as long as you meet the patrol detachment requirements. Battalions are totally legit if you can swing it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarlessllama Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 So it looks like I will be working this Tuesday evening (on a related note, Smokey Bear will be making an appearance at the Oregon Zoo on Tuesday evening.). Would anyone be interested in playing this league scenario on Sunday evening (I'm also working this weekend. Fire season is a bitch)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, those closest FLGS to me is Red Castle. They have a good selection of terrain and the tables aren't packed. But I can go just about anywhere, although it will have to be after 3 pm.
