The alliances are working to control one of the major installations on the planet&#8212;the Laboratory,\u00a0Hab Blocks, or\u00a0Mine&#8212;as well as the supporting sites&#8212;the Starport, Generator, or Comms Tower. Each round the alliances\u00a0simultaneously place secret orders on their\u00a0active armies. Those orders are then revealed and the alliances alternate assigning a player and a target to a chosen order, with the other alliance(s) responding with a defending player. Cumulative mission results then determine the outcome and control of\u00a0each territory.

Caught off guard, the Imperium was\u00a0forced to drop assault their own planet to shore up defenses as fast as possible. Lead by the Swords of Dorn, they successfully established positions in the Laboratory, Mine, Comms Tower, and Starport. The invaders though occupied the Hab Blocks and began feasting.<\/p>\n<h2>Battle<\/h2>\n<p>This stage of the campaign started off focused on the mine, and then swung onto the Laboratory.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Round 1:<\/strong> The Tyranid settled down in the Hab Blocks to gorge on biomass after their long journey through the stars, while the Orks mob continued to roll throughout the settlement in their jalopy\u00a0battlewagons. Finally awoken to the major conflict on Solypsus 9, Chaos Daemons and traitors descended from orbit against the Imperial forces.\u00a0Death Guard and their cultists\u00a0attacked the Astra Militarum guarding the Mine and won the tactical battle but were rebuffed by supporting\u00a0forces.\u00a0Traitor Marines dropped on the undefended Generator and were surprised but not deterred to find\u00a0Necrons phasing onto Solypsus 9. Rotted daemons meanwhile were intercepted by a collection of Space Marines.\u00a0Swords of Dorn engaged the Ork Mob at the center of the colony but could not overcome their sheer mass. Finally sated, a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.forgeworld.co.uk\/Warhammer-40000\/Tyranids\/TYRANID-HARRIDAN.html\">Tyranid\u00a0Harridan<\/a> led a sortie of flying beasts that cut through the White Scars defenders\u00a0and entered the Laboratory complex.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Round 2:<\/strong> The Swords of Dorn rushed to retake the Laboratory, crushing a Chaos beast pack on the way. Orks, Death Guard, and Tyranid made a combined assault on the Mine, with Space Marines, Imperial Guard, and White Scars defenders suffering a major defeat. Necrons meanwhile successfully took the central pathway of the settlement from the rotted daemons.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Round 3:<\/strong> Death Guard could not repel an onslaught on the Generator from the Swords of Dorn. Traitor Marines\u00a0again assaulted the Laboratory and almost lost to White Scars defenders, but the Ork Mob arrived hot on the heels of\u00a0Necrons moving\u00a0on the facility and rolled over the entire complex. Daemons\u00a0guarding\u00a0the Mine\u00a0were dispelled by the exhortations of\u00a0Astra Militarum Priests and Psykers even as their Space Marines\u00a0outriders were mulched by the Tyranid swarm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_3050\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0447.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3050\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3050\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0447-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Swords of Dorn advance through the slum shacks surrounding the Hab Blocks.\" width=\"530\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0447-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0447-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0447-60x45.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0447.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3050\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Swords of Dorn advance through the slum shacks surrounding the Hab Blocks.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3055\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0406.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3055\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3055\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0406-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Orks and White Scars engage in a frenzy of speed and close combat.\" width=\"530\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0406-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0406-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0406-60x45.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0406.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3055\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Orks and White Scars engage in a frenzy of speed and close combat.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3054\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0362.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3054\" class=\"wp-image-3054 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0362-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Imperial Guard roustabouts take up arms under the banner of psykers and priests.\" width=\"530\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0362-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0362-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0362-60x45.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0362.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3054\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Imperial Guard roustabouts take up arms under the banner of psykers and priests.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Outcome<\/h2>\n<p>Although the individual rounds were closely fought, Order took the day with 179 victory points to 140 largely due to successfully claiming a number of covert missions in the second round.

The underlying mechanics seem to support this well, but some narrative\u00a0sleight-of-hand is required. In this case, a bunch of last month&#8217;s Spoilers couldn&#8217;t make it but\u00a0some new Chaos players did. The number of players though came just short of warranting a third faction. Absent that, I erred toward simplicity\u00a0and narrative continuity and kept the factions as Order and Spoilers.<\/p>\n<p>The highly modified and fairly original Maelstrom mission seemed to work well. I did though notice a preference to use the standard\u00a0cards\u00a0to draw and track\u00a0objective numbers,\u00a0rather than marking our\u00a0sheet, then consulting our\u00a0sheet to read the actual text in play. That&#8217;s not a really problem, but clearly people prefer the physicality of cards\u00a0over checkboxes. There are logistical hassles though to\u00a0rolling\u00a0our own cards that I&#8217;m not sure how to work around, and\u00a0I can&#8217;t see just switching to using the standard deck (more on that its many flaws in a later post).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3049\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0429.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3049\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3049\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0429-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"A rotted Plague Drone roams the battlefield.\" width=\"530\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0429-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0429-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0429-60x45.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0429.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3049\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A rotted Plague Drone roams the battlefield.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>On a similar logistical note,\u00a0almost every table played the last round decidedly slow. I would guess some part of it was the extra complexity of the Maelstrom bookkeeping, though everybody I polled seemed to think it was mostly just being tired. In general I continue to think 1850 points is just\u00a0a touch\u00a0high for 2.5 hours for\u00a0a\u00a0group mostly on the more casual end of\u00a0the spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>For this event I started introducing a few narrative aspects to the actual gameplay itself. One of the rounds included Apparations, little entities scattering around scaring everybody. I\u00a0forgot though\u00a0one of my cardinal rules of game design for 40k: If a narrative mechanic\u00a0doesn&#8217;t clearly benefit somebody or directly determine the game outcome, most people will forget or\u00a0purposefully ignore it. I do exactly the same thing with Mysterious Objectives, for example. To avoid unbalancing games I gave people the option to simply ignore this&#8212;Patrick, with his low-leadership Orks, in particular looked terrified. Several did, but the rest mostly forgot about them anyway. Reinforcing that design lemma though, people continue to be pretty\u00a0excited about the covert missions giving to the trailing\u00a0alliance. So, for next month the narrative aspects will be reworked\u00a0into\u00a0the covert missions, which will also provide some more inspiration and direction\u00a0for the latter.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3052\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0463.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3052\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3052\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0463-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Stormtroopers search the burning crash site of their downed flyer for fellow survivors.\" width=\"530\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0463-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0463-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0463-60x45.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipgames.com\/blogs\/tjkopena\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0463.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3052\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stormtroopers search the burning crash site of their downed flyer for fellow survivors.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Onward!<\/h2>\n<p>Next month is\u00a0going to be a doubles format, players competing in teams of two with each fielding 1000 points.
