Me too. I can feel my bank account emptying already... 
I just hope they realise some of the sales potential they have and start releasing fluff-based battle/campaign books for E-A. How does Epic Campaigns sound? Let's see: Great Crusade offers many possibilities as does Horus Heresy. Armageddon (1st, 2nd, & 3rd), First Tyrannic War, Ground war in Gothic sector, Macharian Crusade, Sabbat Cluster crusade... the list goes on.
For each book, a series of scenarios and a campaign system to link them plus ideas to make your own.
There would be plenty of potential to release new models and keep the game alive. Ah well, we can always hope.

Why don't we just do it over the net... I will give you a game and we can send updates to Incoming!
We don't need a DM for the rules as they are designed to not require one and we can use PBEM.com for the dice rolling, (it generates the result and emails all players to prevent cheating.
I might even create CGI front end to simplify matters as EOTS is just a grid (note: not a full game just a automatically generated map).
Start it at the W/E if you want  . It needs more playtesting, as far as I know it has only been used twice and then the person in charge insisted on being DM for it... despite the whole concept behind it negated the need for a DM.

Hmm.... could literally do the entire EOT campaign, or even a Heresy as the campaign rules are on such a large scale.

Hi!
That would be a great idea!
It's been a long time since we had a good epic campaign going.

DoodleBug,
- Night Fighting - Even useing night vision equipment troops effectiveness is reduced and given the low-high tech future not all troops will be equipped with even that
- Various Weather Conditions - Imagine the effect of heavy rain on laser weapons, specially over long ranges.
- Low-G Worlds/Moons/Asteroids - could be interesting
- Themed Terrain - e.g. Deathworlds and Cityfights
- An Experience System- I beleive someone has already tried to convert the one that was issued for E-40k.
- Rules for a map Campaign - Epic is probably much more suited to this than 40k. |
Funny thing! I brought up every one of these situations on the old E-A Playtest Board before it moved to its' current location. There wasn't much interest back then. A few people poo-poo'ed the ideas.
I'm particularly interested in the "Low-G Worlds/Moons/Asteroids" idea. The IG has several regiments who specialize in "toxic/vacuum/hostile" environments.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Me too. In fact I recall it was you and I who were pushing the cause of these ones Maks to get them included as "optional Rules" in the rulebook.
Ignorant sods..

Hmmm...I'd be very interested. You could set up a campaiugn with different commanders for different fronts etc. That way there would be a proper Chain of Command and orders can be passed to "go take that system etc". Could be very cool...
Any room for any more players then?

Hi!
I would think there would be space for everyone who wants to participate, but I'll let Netepic put it together if he's so inclined.

Sure- I think there could get some interest from here, especially as everyone keeps saying they have nobody to play against!

Here are some outline rules I suggested for night fighting a while ago on the EA boards.
normal LOS limited to 30cm except for units with night vision (eg. all SM units, flyers and Titans/Gargants) it could also be available as an upgrade to certain units (eg. stromtroopers, armoured companies).
normal units units with night vision
0-30cm -1 to hit normal shooting
30cm+ no shooting -1 to hit
This does not apply to shooting against warmachines as they would be a bit hard to miss still.
Bombardments and other indirect fire are unafected. Illumination parachute flares could be fired instead of a bombardment or dropped by flyers to allow other units to shoot at one enemy formation as normal the effect lasting for the rest of the turn.
I would also suggest some sort of morale effect. Additional -1 to initiative for units regrouping/rallying in the end phase unless there is a freindly unbroken formation within 30cm?

This online campaign your proposing, how is it going to work?
Is it basically a campaign based on the results of e-mail games?
I'd imagine it would take an awful long time just to complete 1 email game let alone a whole campaign. Please enlighten me or at least point me in the way on enlightenment (give me a link to some rules).

Hi!
I think it's more along the lines that you play the game and report the results and it is added to everyone elses results to see the overall outcome of the campaign.
