Road to Glory --

Inside the 5th edition warhammer 40k rulebook there is a 5 stage campaign. It is generically written, open for anyone to play. William and I will be playing this campaign ... setting up the story line to have the following basic story plot.

"A long standing war has raged between Dark Angel and Eldar forces on a small world dotted with imperial outposts. The imperial forces were working to establish a stronghold when the Eldar first attacked the planet. The two have been deadlocked ever since. Recently new developments have occurred allowing the long running stalemate to finally be broken. The Eldar forces have recently acquired the insight of a prominent and powerful Farseer. The imperial forces have received a small relief force of Dark Angels Space Marines. With their forces recently bolstered the scales of war may finally be tipped to one side or another ... and a victor may be declared."

Battle 1: Seize Ground; Dawn of War Deployment - [Victor gains vital intelligence in the final battle]

Battle 2: Capture and Control; Dawn of War Deployment - [Victor becomes attacker]

Battle 3: Seize Ground; Pitched Battle Deployment - [Victor chooses deployment type in Battle 4]

Battle 4: Capture and Control; Various Deployment - [Victor chooses deployment type and if night-fighting will be used in Battle 5]

Battle 5: Annihilation; Various Deployment - [Victor wins the campaign]

In addition to the above summary of the battles - our Road to Glory Campaign will use the Veteran Ability / Gaining Experience rule found on page 263 of the rulebook.

Our first match is slated to be played 10/16. Expect photos and a battle report ... I'm currently working on a table to have 100% playable.

William, give me your thoughts on the points for each battle ... i was thinking the following - but you can tell me what you think.

Battle 1: 1000pt

Battle 2: 1000pt

Battle 3: 1200pt

Battle 4: 1200pt

Battle 5: 1500-2000pt ... dependent on our playable army sizes.
