15mm Wargaming for Fun and Sanity: RS 6 sided campaign.

As the Daleks would say:

EXTRAPOLATE! EXTRAPOLATE! EXTRAPOLATE!

Always have a campaign handy. Going to follow my own advise. I'm going to try and make this a fun, space opera Dr Who-ish type thing. Deep within (the? A?) Moon. There will be lots of running down corridors and each side will have a control room, spaceship or something similar. I'm posting this now as we're about to do the last trial game. I've done these as-an-when I've got the figures near enough ready.

It's occured to me that GZG's near-future conflict on the Moon ranges would be ideal for this. The other alternative is VSF European powers looking for the remnants of Selenite technology.

I've 2 more on the boil, a big 3 sided OHAA Medieval fantasy and a Mars one.

You could say “the crews of saucers”. Ok? Ready? All together now! “The crews of saucers”.

Here are my initial sides:

Astagar. Merchants.
Ogron. Pirates.
Brains from Uranus. Psi
Zombie Nazis. Cult.
Daleks. Cyborgs.
Ying Tong. Militia.

Playing the Campaign. I'm stealing the Hordes Of The Things model. Each side has 3 areas, except the Astagar, who start controlling the central zone. In a normal map there would be pre-plotted routes. There are such routes betwix the own players areas, but interlinking rouses will have to be explored. Aliens will have to boldly go where no alien has gone before. Boldly.

These routes will be mapped out by taking one side and saying “I'm going that way” to fill in after other games.

Everyone starts with a pool of figures. There are specialists available for tech jobs. Every side starts with 200 points. Exotic and specialists cannot be replaced, the normal can. If the central area is breached 250 points are used and should include the more exotic.

1) Astagar. Merchants. With an eye on the main change, boldy seeking new products and new markets, boldly. These stealthy corporates make use of robots and mercenaries. This is the only one I'm short on, so may have to get inventive, or buy more-. Critical Mass now available from RPE.

I see no disadvantage to no legs, which should be a minus, so I'm applying a “free” Fast1 to outweigh. I hope to represent the move very slow or very, very fast snake movement.

Once these uber-intellects drove planet sized ships betwix the galactic voids. But now their intellect is diminished and their bus service no more. I've taken an anti-grav or similar system to be the equivalent of legs. New releases from Alternative Armies plus a brain beast/GZG conversion to make Mind. Yes it was making your mind up time.

Zombie Nazis. Cult.

Fleeing from the end of days, the special group, laden with the arcane plunder of a hundred religions threw themselves into the interplanetary void. There they met and were enslaved by an intellect older and more evil even than themselves. Now they are shells of their former selves, even after death they serve their new master-. New models from Alternative Armies with Inkwen weapons pack and a couple of older brain-creatures.
