Hi Guys,

Many of you would have seen (and participated in) the campaign issues on the EA playtesting board. There were many great proposals put forward toward this, but tghey are mostly for methods of accruing experience and the rewards of battlehardening.

I recall seeing a good set of (GW sponsored if not produced) campaign rules for 2nd Ed. It was kind of a map system where you divided your army into main battle detachments and scouting forces and manourved them aorund. It had some very basic supply line rules as well, and fatigue rules.

In short, it was a very basic wargame, abstract enough not to encumbre with extranoues detail, but enough to get forces into contact and battel it out on the table top (and it was a refreshing change form playing "Fire in the East" as you fellow grognards would knwo :;):

)

Anyhow, the point is- has anybody got a copy? I unfortunately dont, but would like to get a set so I can use and modify them (of course!) for EA and get a small campaign going.

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

We had the Empire of the Stars campaign system set up on the EPICentre at one point.

It was a NetEPIC/BFG crossover, and was quite popular locally, never made much of an impression on the net. (Although when it came down, ironically a load of people complained.) I could either upload it to the site, or I could submit it to the EZine... what do people think?

I will leave that Q for Douglas, but I will submit the EOTS rules to him ASAP and then perhaps we might be able to share a little project a group of us are working on at the moment for those 28mm players amongst you in the issue after that...

I for one would be fine to put it in Incoming. It is a nice combo to see rules, battle report and opinions in general and makes for a good read. The more ideas and input from everyone the better incoming would get. Thats the aim isnt it ?

The PDF files for Swordwind have been posted on the E:A website. I suggest to have a look, since depicted in the files there is also a good chunk of the Eldar range to be released next year by GW.

I haven't read everything, but I like what I've seen so far : lots of fluff detail, very nice layout... Hopefuly there will be more expansions to come.

Just too bad that they haven't had the time to shoot pics of all the new models yet.

It's funny though. When looking through the De Aynes gallery I suddenly realized that I like the new style Revenant much better than any of the previous versions. Seeing the neew pics in the book only confirms me in that thought. I gotta get me a couple of those :cool:

I only skim read the pages so I could be mistaken but haven't they missed the Feral Ork madboyz stats somewhere?

All in all I think it looks awsome. It just makes it so much cooler that it is one of the prizes in the painting comp.

Cheers!
