That is not the most current map. The one you have there is the map before RealGenuis and I worked together and made the physical and digital correspond.
Just wanted to throw that out there.

I relized that, I can't update until i get home tonight, I'm on the road now.

Ok, the challenges will open up as soon as I have the completed map, which should be sometime early today. I wanted to clarify some of the challenge rules (I will cover more in my next post though, so this isn't exhaustive).

When I was looking at the challenge rules I realized that it was kind of written where the challenges would only take place on enemy territory, which made just expanding your own tiles not really an option. So last night and this morning I have updated some of the rules for challenges. Now the challenger may choose to attack either an enemy territory (that they have a direct path to), or to try to claim an unclaimed hex, adjacent to a hex already owned by his faction.

Previously, it was noted that there were specific bonuses to some rolls for attackers and defenders (attackers +1 to seize init, defenders +1 for table sides and deployment zones). Those bonuses only apply now if you are attacking a zone already owned by the enemy. If the zone is an unclaimed one, then no bonuses apply. Also, if the challenger wins, they still claim the tile, but if the challenged player wins and it is an unclaimed tile, then the chllenged player claims that tile (if the challenged player already owns that tile, then they claim an adjacent one as they chase the challenger away from the battlefield).

Ok, I will clarify about the actual challenge process in my next post when I open up for challenges to begin.

So, an update ... I have 13/18 army lists, but 17/18 have said they would have them to me soon, so I'm only still really "waiting" to hear from one person. As I said before, 2 of 3 factions have made requests to claim territory, and the last remaining faction says they are working on it. Hopefully maybe tomorrow challenges can get issued (we do need the maps updated first).

Also, so for the maps, are we supposed to request specific hexes, and they have to be adjacent to ones we already have? or just X spots on planet Y?

Yes, adjacent to ones you already have, you claim 6 additional ones. One group missed the adjacent somewhat, but they are close and I can work with what they sent.

There will be a couple of contested territories that more than one side wants to claim to start. What I am going to do with those is to give each faction another nearby territory, and one of the first round battles will decide ownership of the contested space.
