Warhammer Campaign 2001 Rules
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Warhammer Campaign 2001 is to be held in the first six months of the year and all games will be played at the Victoria Club. It's a bit different from previous campaigns or events simply because there's no fixed amount of games or players - all you have to do is turn up with an army and play!
Oh all right then, there's a bit more to it than that - for example, your scores are averaged over the amount of games you play, and there's no limit to the amount of games you play either, but you can only play the same person twice. Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself - the full rules you can find below!

Armies
|
|
|
|
Feel free to use any army you wish, as long as you follow these guidelines:
-
Armies must be selected for 2,000 points and not a point over.
-
Army lists do not have to be handed in. In fact, you can pretty much do what you like with your army lists, even to the extent of changing them from week to week. However, if you use a completely different army - for example, if you use Chaos for a couple of games and then turn to Dark Elves - you'll be entered in the campaign twice.
-
No special characters are allowed.
-
It does not matter if non-painted armies are used, but you won't be able to win anything unless your army is fully-painted by the end of the campaign.

Games
|
|
|
|
Unlike a tournament, the campaign won't be run in a Swiss Chess manner with set opponents, simply because it's almost impossible to force players to play that way over a period of time!
-
You can play any player you want whenever you want, but you can only play that person twice during the campaign - home and away!
-
There's no maximum amount of games per se, but you are limited simply by the amount of members in the club. Basically, if you've played every member once, you've can't play anybody else and you must wait until the next campaign!
-
Campaign games will always be Pitched Battle.
-
Before a campaign game, you must tell the Campaign Organiser - in this case
Rob Lane - that you are doing so. You can't play, win and then say you want your score entered!
-
Needless to say, you have to hand in your scores to the Campaign Organiser after each game, but please make sure these scores are in Victory Points.

Scoring
|
|
|
|
To score your games you must use the usual Victory Points table found on page 198 of the Warhammer rulebook, and then they'll be modified by the Campaign Organiser for the Campaign Table.
-
Your Victory Points total will be turned into Campaign Points using the usual Dragon Slayer Scoring System that we use in our tournaments.
-
No other scoring systems - sportsmanship, painting and the like - are to be used.

Campaign Table
|
|
|
|
The Campaign Table will be the place to check your position within the campaign every week!
-
Your campaign points will be averaged, not added, which basically means you can play as many games as you like - in fact, the more games you play, the more accurate your eventual average will be.
-
Because of this, you will only be entered onto the Campaign Table proper after you have played three games, which ensures you've had a good spread of opponents.
-
Anybody who has played less than three games will be entered onto the Reserves Table until they've reached the required amount.

Winners
|
|
|
|
Hopefully you'll all be winners by the end of the Campaign, but for those who come out on top there may just be a prize as well as the satisfaction you've beaten the best of us...!
-
The winner of the event will be the player with the highest average score on the Campaign Table.
-
If there's a tie for winner (which is unlikely thanks to our scoring system), it goes on the amount of games you've played - the higher the better!
