    Speaking of, what is the difference between Primary and Bonus Scoring? Do both count towards determining the victor?

    And it looks like I'm going to want to invest in some 12" markers of some sort. The hardest part of that mission sounds like it'd be simply remembering that the smoke is there, heh.

    Both Primary and Bonus are added to determine who the winner of the match is

    RE: mission 2.

    Will mortal wounds be allocated to each individual model in the event that a squad of multi-wound models end their movement within radiation range? Or will you roll one die per model, but pile the wounds onto one model until it's dead?

    Great question....I know piling on wounds to remove whole models would probably be easier, but I love the idea of tough models getting withered away in the radiation zone...so I'm torn. 🙂 

    Let me think about this

    Will pure markers be provided, or are we bringing our own?

    In either case, it sounds like we really need 4 markers, not 2. One for each end of both lines.

    That is a good question and it has not been decided yet. I know of at least one other mission that will need markers and I do plan to provide those. It may come down to how much time I have to prep things. :)

  4. As I complete the 40K missions, I will be posting them here for review and play testing (some of you may remember some of my dodgy scoring mechanics from last year). 🙂

    You are open to comment and provide feedback whether you are attending OFCC or not.

    With that being said, here is the first mission:

    2019 OFCC 40K - Mission 1 
    Smoke Screen

    Description:
    Pyres and fires and smoke…oh my! Between the smoky battlefield and shifting winds, defeating your opponent may be a challenge.

    Deployment:
    Vanguard Strike

    Special Rules: 
    Place 3 Objective Markers on the diagonal centerline, one in the middle and two 24” from each corner

    Fires and Smoke: Place two Pyre markers 24” from each short table edge in the center of the table. Each marker leaves a 12” path of smoke blowing in a random direction. Roll a d6 at the beginning of each game turn to determine direction.
    (Note: Direction is relevant to the player who takes first turn)

    1. Right - >>
    2. Left - <<
    3. Towards - vv
    4. Away - ^^
    5. Away from each other - <>
    6. Towards each other - ><

    Any ranged attack that crosses a single line of smoke is considered Low Visibility and Hit Roles have a -1 penalty. With two lines of smoke, Hit Roles have a -2 penalty.

    Primary Scoring:
    At the end of the game, each objective marker is worth 2 victory points to the player who controls it. A player controls an objective marker if they have more models within 3"  than their opponent.

    Bonus Scoring:
    If you killed a non-vehicle model while shooting in Low Visibility – 1 Point
    If you destroyed a vehicle while shooting in Low Visibility – 2 Points

     

    2019 OFCC 40K - Mission 2 
    Fallout

    Description:
    It’s time for the annual “gift” exchange on this world. Make sure to leave your “gift” in a place your opponent will be sure to find it.

    Deployment:
    Dawn of War

    Special Rules: 
    Each player will receive a Fallout token to be placed in their opponent’s deployment zone prior to deployment. The token must be placed on the table surface or on the lowest level of a terrain feature.

    Each token emits radiation for 9” in every direction. For every model that ends its movement phase partially or completely within the radiation bubble, roll a die. On a 4+, that model suffers a mortal wound.

    Primary Scoring:
    Every 100 points worth of enemy units destroyed by the end of the game (rounded to the nearest 100) is worth 1 Victory Point.

    Bonus Scoring:
    If your Fallout zone killed at least one enemy model – 1 point
    If your Fallout zone kills at least two of your own models – 2 points

     

    2019 OFCC 40K - Mission 3
    Maelstrom’s Fate

    Description:
    Your mission is unclear. Do you forge ahead with what you think is right, or let fate decide?

    Deployment:
    Hammer and Anvil

    Special Rules:
    At the start of each player turn, the active player will determine their current objective from the list below. Players can either choose from the list, or roll a d6 and let Fate decide.

    1.       Advance – None of your unit are in your deployment zone at the end of your turn
    2.       Behind Enemy Lines – At least one until completely in the enemy deployment zone at the end of your turn
    3.       Hold the Line – At least three units in your deployment zone and no enemy units in your deployment zone at the end of your turn, cannot be earned on the first turn.
    4.       Overwhelming Firepower – Destroyed an enemy unit in the shooting phase
    5.       Blood and Guts – Destroyed an enemy unit in the fight phase
    6.       Area Denial – No enemy models within 6” of the center of the battlefield at the end of your turn

    Once an objective has been earned, it is no longer an option. If your Fate roll lands on a completed objective, re-roll the die.

    If an objective has not be completed at the end of your turn, you have the option of keeping that current objective for your next turn.

    Primary Scoring:
    For each chosen objective completed, a player will earn 1 victory point. For each Fate chosen objective completed, a player will earn 2 victory points. Completed Fate chosen objectives carried over for more than one round still count as a Fate chosen objective.

    Bonus Scoring:
    Completing 3+ objectives – 1 Point
    Letting Fate decide every objective – 2 Point

     

    2019 OFCC 40K - Mission 4
    Blink

    Description:
    With the battle raging, you worry the unstable infrastructure will restrict your ability to upload critical data. Your opponent is committed to make sure it does.

    Deployment:
    Search and Destroy

    Special Rules:
    Upload Transmission Locations:

    • At the beginning of the game, each player places 3 Upload Transmission tokens on the battlefield
      • One person will use tokens numbered 1,3,5 and the other will use 2,4,6
      • One token must be placed in your deployment zone, your opponent’s deployment zone and in no-man’s land
      • Alternate deployment and roll off to see who places first

     Power Blink: Roll a d6 at the beginning of each player turn to determine which set of transmission locations are powered (odd or even).

    Any opponent can use a Command Point re-roll a Power Blink (active player or opponent). The active player can choose to use a Command Point, if they choose not to then the opponent can choose to use one and force the re-roll.

    Primary Scoring:
    At the end of the active players turn, they will score 1 point for each powered objective they control.

    Bonus Scoring:
    Using a Command Point to re-roll a Power Blink – 1 Point
    Using a Command Point to re-roll a Power Blink 3+ times – 2 Points


    2019 OFCC 40K - Mission 5

    At the beginning of the game, place 5 objective on the battlefield

    • One in the center, and one in the middle of each table quadrant

    At the end of the active players turn, they can choose to Score or Hold each objective they control

    • If the objective was not previously held, it is worth 1 point
    • If the objective was held for 1 turn, on a 2+ it is worth 3 points
    • If the objective was held for 2 turns, on a 3+ it is worth 7 points

    If you fail your role when claiming a held objective, it is worth 1 point

    If you lose control of a held objective prior to scoring it, the previously held turns do not carry over to future scoring
     
    Primary Scoring: 
    Tally the total points scored during each game turn
     
    Bonus Scoring: 
    If you held 2+ objectives during the game – 1 Point
