going on campaign skip to main skip to sidebar going on campaign a living rulebook and source guide for w40k campaigns going on campaign is an unofficial rulebook and source guide for campaigns in games workshops warhammer 40k if it s your first time here then please read the preface first if you re coming back then check the project log to see what s new turn order and initiative there s three main ways of organising how players take turns in a campaign ranging from the very simple simultaneous method to the ordered method or the more complicated initiative method much like campaigns themselves the simpler it is the easier it is for the players to use but the less it offers in campaign strategy there s two main things to consider when deciding how the campaign turn will be ordered the first is the order that the players will take their turns and the second is the order that their individual armies will move and battle the simplest way for the players to move their forces is simultaneously every player writes down the orders for each of their armies on a piece of paper or order sheet and then they re all shown at the same time players then follow the various orders moving armies going into battle or performing other actions the benefit of this method is that no player gets an advantage by moving first before another players has had chance to do something it s also very easy to run as all it requires is for the players to write their orders the downside is that it can lead to situations where one army is constantly chasing another with never been able to seize the initiative and catch them you could always add a rule that where an army is moving into an area at the same time as another is moving out you roll to see if the escaping army manages to break off and escape or is caught and brought to battle which solves the constantly chasing problem that can occur with the simultaneous method the next method is ordered where the order players take their turns is decided at the start of the campaign players can then either write their orders as normal or just decide on the fly what their armies will do that turn this method can be simpler on the paperwork side but can lead to situations where one player is always last to move and often gets pinned in battles before they have chance to do anything the third method is initiative based where the order players take their turns in that particular campaign turn is decided by random at the start of the campaign turn this can be done by a simple roll off or by one person picking players tokens out of a cup although it requires a little bit more effort to do it does allow players to seize the initiative which is far more realistic the randomness of it means that one player is never always disadvantaged by going last well as long as the dice gods don t turn their back on them the other thing that you need to consider is how the individual armies making up a players force take their turns this isn t an issue with the simultaneous turn method as all the armies move at the same time but with the ordered and initiative methods a little more planning is needed with these methods you need to decide whether all the armies in a players force move at the same time or whether the players take turns to move their armies individually although moving all the armies at the same time seems the simplest it can lead to a situation where one player is able to deploy multiple armies against one single enemy army to overwhelm it whereas moving them individually if you re not using orders can lead to a tit for tat situation it can also give quite an advantage to a player who has more armies than another player as they get extra turns it s down to you what method you use but we d recommend using the initiative method in combination with orders written in advance of the initiative being decided along with moving all the armies in a players force at the same time this method keeps the admin to a relative minimum whilst giving players a more realistic campaign phase with their plans to seize a vital objective or escape before becoming overwhelmed dependant on whether they gain the initiative much like real life commanders supplies coming soon can you help have i missed anything include your thoughts in the comments and i ll get them added to the page view comments 40k campaigns on the web after getting some feedback from some guys who had recently seen the narrative campaigns pdf i ve decided to start a brand new section to the going on campaign project based on other 40k campaigns going on in the blogosphere and the interwebs in general so i d like to introduce two new blogs to the blogroll on the right hand side cadian 113th shock troops first off we have a blog by cundo who was kind enough to submitted a pic for the narrative campaigns pdf currently there s a node campaign running based on a map published in white dwarf a few years ago if you look further back you ll also find a few small map campaigns based gw s plastic hex map pieces it s well worth a look especially some of cundo s combination artwork pictures http cadian113thshocktroops cundo blogspot com khaleraaq wars next up we have a dedicated campaign blog based on a digital hex map it s earlier days in the campaign but the map the general graphics and the background is truly excellent and well worth checking out i d love to know how the map was created may i can get the creator to do us a tutorial if i can figure out how to contact them in the meantime check it out it s very inspiring http khaleraaq wars blogspot com if you know of any campaign dedicated blogs or posts please drop me a line at colcorbane googlemail com view comments campaign phase campaigns are played in a series of turns much like 40k the campaign turns can be as simple as each player taking a turn to move and battle with their armies across the map to far more complicated turn phases including stages for orders scouting battles reorganisation and a lot more how complicated you want your campaign to be is down to you but the more complicated it is the more dedicated the players need to be to see it through to the end you might like the idea of the players having to micromanage their armies but if they don t they ll soon lose interest in the campaign and it ll come to a premature end the two most important factors in the turn phase are moving and battling without these you can t actually play a true map campaign but there s so much more you can add into the turn phase to make things interesting these include turn order initiative supplies orders scouting moving actions battles retreat reinforce admin there s many more phases you could include in your campaign turn but these are the main ones quite offer 40k campaigns differ quite largely from fantasy campaigns when it comes down to world building fantasy campaigns often have rules in place for building your empire by gathering resources building settlements and raising more forces this is because it s typical for a number of different races to ocupy the same map battling to extend their territories and build their empires this is normally handled by having a specific empire building phase which is played after a number of battle campaign turns representing the winter season where the players can collect taxes from their settlements raise and reinforce their armies ready for the next season build new settlements or improve the one s they already have along with other activities such as espionage and magic whereas with 40k normally a single race will ocupy a planet and be fighting off other invading races so they tend to concentrate on the fighting side of campaigns although it s entirely acceptable to have an empire building phase in your campaigns if you want one and we ll be looking at that later on before we can even look into the mechanics of moving and battling over the campaign map we need to look at the order players take their turns turn order initiative can you help have i missed anything include your thoughts in the comments and i ll get them added to the page view comments narrative campaigns pdf it s finally done the first of hopefully many editions of the going on campaign pdf this first edition concentrates on narrative campaigns explaining the different sorts of narrative campaigns and
