CAMPAIGN RULES

Genesis

Each new player starts with 3 territories, one of which is a unique territory called the Fortress. This territory allows the player to field 1 HQ choice and as many Troops as he wants. The other 2 territories are rolled on the table.

Making an Army

Each player must field 1 HQ and at least 2 Troops choices. They are allowed to take up to two HQ choices and any number of Troops choices. The only exception is if a player loses his Fortress and has other territories. Players can only field other choices if they control territories that allow them. Any player may take as many Troops choices as possible.

Staked Territories

Before each game, both players must 'stake' one of their territories. Each player must tell the other player what is staked. Also, another random territory is generated. When the game is over, the winner keeps his staked territory and may choose one of the following:
1. Take the opponent's staked territory, leaving the new territory to the opponent.
2. Take the new territory, and the opponent keeps his staked territory.
3. Raze both the opponent's territory and the new territory.

Maximum Territories

There are an infinite number of territories to be gained, but a player may only use 12 at one time. As this is a campaign, it is believable that the army keeps control of its previous territories, meaning you may select the 12 you are using from your full list of territories. This means a player could well have over 20 territories, but he may only use 12 for any single game! One of these must always be your Fortress.

Answering Challenges

If a player challenges another player, he has 7 days to play or he forfeits one territory (loser's choice). Two players may not fight each other more than twice in a row. Note that a player will not forfeit a territory if he cannot show up due to an emergency. People will not be penalized for things beyond their control!

Two-on-One

Two players may challenge another player together if their total number of territories is less than or equal to the opponent. The opponent stakes one territory and each ally stakes one. No new territory is rolled. Each player brings the same number of points (the opponent is essentially outnumbered 2:1). If the allies win, the opponent's staked territory is razed. If the Allies lose, the opponent gains one of the allies' staked territories.

Start Anew

If any player is reduced to less than 3 territories, they may raze their lands and start again, via Genesis.

Game Limits

To keep things fair for people who can't get in many games, only three games may be played per player per week. The period of a week is from Monday through Sunday (to prevent confusion with the weekend being split between two weeks). This just means any single player can only play three games in a week. You can choose to play less, but no more!

Territories

2D6	Territory	Ability	Special Character: Allows you to take one Special Character, but still counts as one of your army choices (e.g. HQ, troops, etc.) Bombardment: Allows you to use a Preliminary Bombardment (Warhammer 40K rulebook page ???) as long as you stake this territory (even if the mission does not allow it). Luck: Allows you to re-roll any one die roll during each game. If you stake this territory, you may take 2 re-rolls. One die roll is defined as one physical die, not one group of dice. Elite/Fast Attack/Heavy Support: These territories allow you to take one Elite/Fast Attack/Heavy Support choice in your army. Multiple territories can combine (e.g. you may take 3 Elite choices if you control 3 Ancient Ruins). You may take these choices even if they are not allowed by the mission organization chart (e.g. you may take 4 Elites if you control 4 Ancient Ruins). +25 points/+50 points: These Territories allow you take field more points in your army. This is done after the Army size has been agreed upon (e.g. Both players agree to use 1000 point armies, but one player controls a City and a Wasteland and can therefore take 1075 points). Infiltrate: Any one unit in your army may now Infiltrate on missions that allow infiltrators. Deep Strike: Any one unit in your army may now Deep Strike on missions that allow Deep Strike. Special: Roll twice on the Territory Chart and combine the two territories' abilities. A further result of Special is ignored (sorry).

A slight modification to the original rules has been made. Wastelands give +25 points, whereas in the original rules they only gave +10.
