Campaign

[GreyKnight]

Guys, my game against Chris' Necrons last night has had me very confused. We played scenario 2 "The Bait" as it was explained in my original printed rulebook. The victory conditions in my book said that the pursuing fleet got bonus victory points equivalent to the value of the ships that the pursued player brought on as reinforcements. Hence, by bringing on my reinforcements I basically lost the game as I gave Chris 495 points purely by "using my ships" (what a crime...)

Anyway, something was knawing at me about this as it just seems so harsh and I double checked the PDF version of the rulebook from the GW website at home last night. Blow me down, but the rule about the bonus victory points has been removed from the scenario in the latest version of the rulebook! Victory conditions are now just those of a standard game.

I looked it up on Google just to make sure it's not just an error and found this thread on Warseer http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread...int-to-PDF. It appears to be an official revision.

In that regard, assuming we are all working from the latest revision of the rulebook, it seems that I won the game last night with 187.5 victory points to Chris' 50vp's which he gets for crippling my Hades cruiser.

I'm not trying to be a sore loser , but they obviously changed the rules for this mission for the very reason that I thought they seemed unfair. It's too heavily weighted in favour of the pursuer.

Oh, on that note, I think in "The Bait" scenario the "pursued" player is actually the attacker, not the defender as they have laid a trap for the pursuers...!?!?! If that's true my ships should have been pursuing Chris, not the other way around... Doesn't make a lot of difference in a raid though.

Yours, confused of Alcester...
