Weav Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hello, Generals...facts are, this planet is going to hell and we're the solution. It's cold, soldiers are dying, and did you hear? Them damn bugs just landed in the south. Add to that those damn robots with their gauss weapons searing our men to death...things are tough. But who's tougher than us? NO ONE. 2019 Winter Warzone is the second installment of the Ordo Fanaticus war zone escalation league at Western Oregon Wargamers/Ordo Clubhouse. This January, Generals from around the galaxy will battle in fierce escalating engagements to crown a victor. There can only be one General to win the war, but in order to do so, many must lose. This thread will serve as the primary information post for the weekly mission, escalating point values, and victory conditions. @Weav is your league administrator, and @Dark Trainer will create the rules, decide scenarios, and be the primary rules judge when necessary. Check back soon to see the point values for week one, to learn how we will crown our victor, and to see what scenarios will be played each week. Wanna' participate? Week one is January 8th, 2019. Want to take full advantage of the league? Become an Ordo Fanaticus champion! Learn more here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apathy ales Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hay all I'm new to this, so sorry if these are silly questions. So how will this work? Will games be on a set day (hopefully not the Tuesday that's listed as start day, I work late-ish Mon-Thurs, but weekeends are pretty open)? How frequent will games be? Will this be geared towards new(ish) players? Do we need to sign up or anything like that? Thanks in advance for the info! -----tim g 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 I’m sure @Dark Trainer or @Weav will post a “proper” list of league rules, guidelines, provisos, and whatnots. But the general plan was to use the Matched Play rules, start at 750 Points and grow to 1,500 Points at the end. The goal was to newer players involved and/or people who’d been out of the hobby for a while (like me) a way to get back in. We’ll be competing against one another, but we won’t be cut-throat competitive. Standing “league night” would be Tuesday, but you would be able to play whenever you could arrange things with an opponent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weav Posted December 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 @apathy ales, glad to see you're interested. Ish is correct, we will have more rules posted very shortly. In the mean time, while we LOVE games to be played Sundays or Tuesdays at WOW, those are not required days. You schedule your own games with the Generals playing in the league...any time, any place, any day. @Dark Trainer (Matt) is handling the league particulars, while I am promoting, and record keeping. Matt will come into this thread shortly and list the rules as they are now. Please, invite your friends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much, don't take the WAAC lists straight out, and if you plan to bring a knights, for the love of everything holy, please tell your opponent I while in the 750 list... Please? Otherwise it will just be a one sided slaughter and that's no fun as a single Castellon wipes your opponents entire army... Since I am learning orks (won't get my first game in till this weekend!) I am trying not to take the cruelty lists (hence no week 1 and 2 Battlewagons or other shenanigans) but I will be testing the codex out fully for this so expect to see interesting things.

Games were each week, but not on a required day. Tuesday, as it was also game night at the clubhouse, was the day with the most players, but arranging to meet another day was also allowed. New players are always encouraged. Yes, there was a sign up (online). Last time, they also required posting your week's list at the start of the week. I believe the last one was run by Happycamper, which I was in. This one is a different person (Dark Trainer), so expect differences. Though Dark Trainer is also a nice person and capable organizer. It should be fun and friendly for new and veteran players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Trainer Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Now that Christmas passed, I plan to post something up tsoon now that I have some time. We'll be allowing matches off site, but promote games played at game nights (Tuesday game night is the main night, Sunday works too). We'll be starting at 750 points following normal detachment rules and providing weekly missions. There will be bonuses for painting a squad vs just one mini, and such. It's all about having some good fun games while getting and army together or just some plain old experimentation with lists. League is planning to start Jan 8th, and run through end of Feb.

Btw, i've had a LOT of people showing interest in actually escalating an army. So i'm considering a 500 point start for 1 week, then escalate 750, 1k. Working on the rules post now...should post today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weav Posted January 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 As we approach the kick off of the 2019 Winter Warzone, please familiarize yourself with the benefits of being an Ordo Fanaticus Champion. Not only will it dramatically reduce your league play costs, it goes to help Ordo pay for rent, pay for web hosting and help pay for the awesome annual OFCC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that it grants discounts to events, like the March tournament, OFCC, and more. Warlord alone pays for itself. Let alone Emperor if you come often. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the escalation league alone pays for this for me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Trainer Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 So Far our escalation league is looking finalized. I don't know if I'll get more stats in the next 2 days. Remember a player can only get 1 ranking, thus 4 separate winners! However, current standings are! Best Overall: @Lyraeus Best General: @Inquisitor66 The addict (most painted/escalated): @Jason Best Sportsman: @Salty Monkey I'm pretty sure these will stand come Tuesday! Congrats to the players!
