RWS Fantasy Campaign 2014 - TURN TWO

[-=IP=-]

The rest of the battles have now been chosen (Tuesday night)

So we have
Alan v Tom
James v Steve (N.B. This will have to be first week of March as Steve is now working on 25th!!!)
Dan v Craig
Justin v Terry
Gareth v Ben

which leaves...
Simon v Andy (another group of Dark Elves have found a portal, plunged through with their 1500 points and by the quirks of the shifting sands set up a (Capital) base and grabbed some territory. No time for any rejigging though, as the initial dust settles the elves wake up to find some already battle-hardened dwarves marching across the sand towards them...)

Hi Paul, send me all important information on andrzejperski@wp.pl

I-m now available for this Tuesday, so will play.

[Gareth]

Cannot find my campaign pack (I know I had it Saturday morning so god knows what I have done with it.) Can anyone tell me if I have gold to buy both a Hero and Special slot. Territories are Road, Road and Fertile Oasis. Had an Oasis at the start of round one, and got Beautiful weather as my random result. Also does the territories I have mean I get 1590 points to play with at the moment?

12 SWAP UNITS between The Isle and Home World
In theory, you can send units home from the front and replace them with fresh units. This is also possible for Home-World magic items.
However, it's not that simple. Assuming you have a full 1500 point compliment, then you have to send 'stuff' home, leaving a 'hole', then send stuff back out from home. There is always a chance stuff doesn't go, or is delayed in transit, and then the same applies to replacement stuff coming back the other way. This is a unit by unit and magic item by magic item roll, basically roll a d11-66, 11-13 means it is delayed in transit (until after next battle), 14-16, means it doesn't go at all. If you wanted to send a 100 point unit of archers home and replace them with 2 x magic items worth 100 points, three rolls are required.

For a cost of 2 GOLD per 100 points no roll is required.

Cheers Paul. I have a few questions to ask, but I'll sort it out at the club. Found my pack today, but having it on the forum saves me the embarrassment before next round.

[Simian]

i think i know how many point i have to play with......i'll check before starting tonight.

New dwarfs or old dwarfs by the way?

[Gareth]

Paul I finally think I have my head sorted for this. I am going to need to make some replacement rolls, for both dead units, and switching things about. I will gab you at the start to sort out what I need to do with regards to this.

[Agincourt]

OK - no probs...
