Thread: Week 1 Challenges

I decided to give this it's own thread, before I open it for challenges, some base info on where things stand at the start of turn 1. Here is the map as we start Campaign Turn 1:

https://www.centexwar.com/Map-Initial.jpg

Yes, there are some tiles that certain factions asked to claim which are not claimed by anyone at this time. There are three tiles which had 2 factions attempt to grab them. The three tiles are:

• Space Port on Orias - claimed by both Xenos and Chaos
• Space Port on Balin V - claimed by both Chaos and Imperials
• Shield Generator on Balin V - claimed by both Chaos and Imperials

What I did, in all cases, was leave the contested space unclaimed, and give the factions instead an equal number of nearby territories which were open to be claimed. Fluff wise, both factions attempted to claim and were pushed back by a force from the competing faction.

I would like to have a system for having a cool challenge for these, but I find that anything I have thought about seems to complicate and delay the process of accomplishing the challenges, and so I hope no one is offended, but we are just going to call them open spaces and fair game to be targeted for takeover in the normal challenge process.

With that said, this thread is open ... I will be back in a sec to clarify the challenge process and put our first person on the clock ...

So, just to remind everyone of the process. As your name comes up you will:

• You will choose a planet on which to engage in your mission
• You will challenge a specific player from one of the other factions presently with forces on that planet
• You will target either an unclaimed hex adjacent to one you own, or a hex owned by the enemy force
• If you are targeting an enemy hex, you must be able to draw an uninterrupted line through neutral territory from hexes you control, to the hex you are attacking

Bear in mind also the scenario rules for the battles on the various planets as you make your decisions.

The order of challengers is:

Player Faction Random Value
1 Random Xenos 998
2 Ninjawraithlord Xenos 986
3 Bullymike Chaos 954
4 Kaika Chaos 953
5 ccrazzyman Xenos 937
6 Darkwyn Imperials 921
7 Sloth Chaos 836
8 TxPlays Chaos 737
9 Caldera Chaos 683
10 Morella Xenos 677
11 Noodlers Chaos 672
12 CRP Imperials 638
13 DandyPandy Imperials 457
14 Noah Xenos 425
15 Red Army Imperials 365
16 Real Genius Imperials 249
17 Ball4eva Imperials 170
18 EaglesMVP Xenos 61

So with that, Randomnumber you are on the clock ...

Imperials:
Faction Lead: CRP (SW or IG)
DandyPandy (Ultramarines)
Real Genius (BloodMech)
RedArmy (Sable Faalken, custom chapter, successor to the Astral Claws)
Darkwyn (Ad Mech and Muhreens)
Ball4eva (Ultramarines)

Xenos:
Faction Lead:morella (eldar)
Randomnumber (eldar)
Noah2015.5 (eldar)
eaglesmvp (eldar)
ninjawraithlord (eldar)
ccrazzyyman (tau)

Chaos:
Faction Lead:Caldera (Emporer's Children)
Sloth (Nids)
Noodlers (Chaos)
Bullymike (Daemonkin)
Kaika (Chaos)
Tx Plays (Orks)

Also, just a personal note ... I'm around tonight, but I am going to be travelling for business the next couple of days. I will make it up to the shop Thursday, but I might be running a bit late depending on how things go. As long as challenges have been issued, you guys have access to the rules packet, so feel free to get your games in. Remember, you have three weeks to get in two games.

I will try to comment here, and to answer any questions you guys have but let's try to keep this moving as quickly as possible so that we can start getting some games in.

Can we get a List of all the players in all the factions?
I guess the above initiative list works alright, but it would be nice if you could copy the player list from the Campaign Update pt.2 thread.

I challenge RealGenius for Ranovs Power Station!

Aka what happens if the 6 chaos players challenge the 6 imperial players? Who do the Xenos face?

The 6 chaos players. Everyone makes one challenge, so everyone will be both a challenger and a challengee. Two games every campaign turn for every player.

Bullymike, you are up next, Kaika on deck ...
