Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition / Mission 3: Agents of Annihilation/ Command Manual Scenarios / Learn to Play Scenario

A group of Skorpekh Destroyers has entered the fray with orders to eradicate the Space Marines completely.  One Assault Intercessor Squad has been ordered to hold out upon a defensible position, buying hte Space Marines time to launch a devastating counter-attack.

This mission introduces new unites, terrain features, pistol rules, Armour Penetration (AP), and multiple damage elements into the learning.

The battle lasts four turns.  If there are any Space Marines remaining by end of Turn 4 they win.

Mission 2: Against the Swarm has now been uploaded.

I think the Space Marine Captain may have been able to fire his pistol in the shooting phase even though he was in hth..  If anyone knows the correct rules please feel free to comment. Cheers!

I haven't played much W40k over the years.  My first boxed set was 2nd edition.  I only played a handful of games during that era.  I somewhat preferred the grandeur of Epic instead.

When the Battle of Macragge came out I played a little and recently I also played a few games of 8th edition.

My 11 year old son has taken a liking to Death Guard and we decided we will play through the Missions in the Command Manual.

Unfortunately, it took 29 hrs to upload this 15 min clip to youtube. 

But here is our battle report for Mission 1: First Contact.

Thanks for watching!

Game Discussion / 2 player gaming goodness
May 13, 2020, 10:53:24 AM
Hi everyone,

My youngest son, Kieran (10 yrs), and I have been playing a lot of 2 player games with the extra time we have during this Covid stuff.

We decided it would be fun to put the session reports on youtube.  We play a wide variety of games from mini's to abstracts to dedicated 2 players.

Feel free to check it out and let us know how we could improve.   This has been a fun project so far as we both really enjoy games of all genres.  It has also been quite fun learning video editing software slowly as we go (later episodes are edited and early ones are mostly raw footage).

Our general board game / card game / abstract game playlist:

Hi everyone,

A few clarifications:

1. A coach will create a new team specific to this event using the build restrictions in the prev post.
2. The Cripple Cup mini league will be played over the next month or thereabouts.
3. We may start the 2520 Regular Season simultaneously pending how quickly the matches are played for the Cripple Cup.
4. Further discussion regarding Regular Season teams will happen shortly.

Thanks,
Michael

2520 Regina Flatland Cripple Cup – A battle of attrition mini-tournament

It is that time of the year to get excited for Blood Bowl. 

Come one come all.  The dregs of Regina are invited to another Flatland Pre-Season event – the 2520 Cripple Cup. 

Make a team.  Make it tough.  Or don't.  Winning is important.  Survival is as well.  No cash is awarded after your games.  Meh - this isn't the big leagues.  No dumb Journeymen.  No dumb Apothecaries or even dumber Necromancers.  Injuries are permanent.  Single elimination begins after the first game...

Entry Cost and Deadline
•   $5.00 / each coach can enter one team
•   End of day / Sunday, January 12

Team Building
•   $1 150 000 team.
•   Each team needs 11 players minimum.
•   No Apothecary or Necromancer.
•   No Star Players.
•   No Igor.
•   Any team may hire up to 1 permanent Bloodweiser Babe for 100K.
•   Any team may hire a single wizard for 200k.
•   Any team may hire any number of cheerleaders or coaches for 10k each.
•   Halfling Master Chef is 200k for Halfling teams.  It cannot be hired by other teams.
•   Goblin teams may purchase up to 1 permanent Bribe for 100K.
•   All other normal team building rules apply.
•   All teams will be built on our website as normal. www.reginaflatland.bloodbowlleague.com

End Game Sequence Adjustments
All games must have a winner.  Ties are not allowed.  All matches will use RFBBL house rules for OT play.

•   One MVP is awarded at random to each team. 
•   SPP's are awarded as normal. 
•   Skills may be purchased using the online system.
•   You may not hire any Journeymen to replace missing players prior to any match.

If you qualify for an inducement during your next game you may buy a single Special Play Card drawn at random from a deck in which you would qualify for. 
No other inducements are allowed.

Tournament Games
Each team is guaranteed a minimum of 2 games.

After the first game all winners go into the winner bracket.  After the first game all losers go into the loser bracket.

Each game after the first game is single elimination.  You lose the match and you are out.  Matches for all games will be drawn at random.

Finals
The winner of the winner bracket will play the winner of the loser bracket in the final.  The team in the winning bracket gets to choose who will kick or receive.  They will also get to choose to kick or receive if the game goes into overtime. 

The winner of the final match will get paid entry to the 2520 RFBBL Regular Season.  The entry helps us cover our annual website costs.  This is usually an equivalent of $20.00 CDN.

Any questions – please reach out.

Thanks,
Michael Becker

Hi everyone,

A while back I built my own static grass applicator.   I can make a parchment sheet of tufts for relatively cheap. 

If anyone is interested feel free to reach out.

Thanks,

Are you using the 1980 Formel Ein, the 1990 Daytona 500, or the 1996 Top Race rules?  I've only ever played Detroit-Cleveland Grand Prix, so I'm not sure how different the rules are from the original game.

In the past we have been running this event as a memorial to James Sanheim.  I took the Milton Bradly Daytona 500 system (which is fabulous) and modified it for up to 10 players.  We made it a much bigger scale using Matchbox / Hot Wheels 1/64 scale cars. 

This year, Morley, has asked me to run a different system.  I believe the game was also one that James really enjoyed.  He has been busy creating a larger scale map and some other features.  I am not sure what game / system it is off hand, however.  We will be doing a walk through next week.

I am sure it will be fun and visually appealing.
