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:

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 ...
