Campaign Introduction.

Welcome to the Campaign. The Orkish Warlord Bukits Oblud recently discovered several space hulks had drifted out of the warp near his pirate base. He quickly grabbed them and filling them with boyz and gunz, soon intimidated or encouraged all the rest of the Orkz in his system to accept his leadership. He has already over-run two planetary systems. Now he is ready to launch a war of interstellar conquest through the thinly-guarded Saerlioz sector. As the Imperial fleet races to protect the sector, a Chaos fleet is moving to prevent them, seeing the opportunity to spread disorder. Drawn by rumours of war and easy pickings, pirates are gathering...

Campaign rules - pretty damn simple actually.

All players start in control of systems that give them 3 points of repair capacity as indicated below - this number will change depending on the number of systems you hold changes and as your renown increases. (or decreases!)

We will not use a turn system - instead, battles can be fought at any time.

• Battles occur when two people agree to fight.
• Roll a d6 each - highest score is the attacker. The attacker chooses where to attack. Roll type of mission and subplot as normal.
• Battles can be fought in any system an attacker can reach without passing through an enemy system. The winner gains control of the system if it is adjacent to one he already controls and the mission was a battle. If the mission was a raid, the winner gains the repair resources of the system for one turn. Pirates can attack any system, but can only conduct raids.
• If other players wish to join in, they can do so, assuming that the main attacker and defender are agreeable, and they can reach the system where the battle is taking place from one of their systems, without passing through an enemy system. Third (or more) players get a raiding fleet of half the points of the attacker. Extra players can pitch in on either side (if appropriate) or play it alone. If one of the extra players gains more victory points than any of the other players, they count as having conducted a successful raid on the system.
• Since we are not using turns, participants in a battle calculate and allocate their repair capacity after each battle. In other words, you don't have to fight many battles, but if you don't, you cannot benefit by sitting back and tooling up your ships.

Results of battles are otherwise as laid out in Battlefleet Gothic campaign rules.

The first player to reach 50 renown is the winner.
