I was thinking for next year, we try something fresh. Instead of a league, we will be running a map-based campaign, based on the RACES of Warhammer, NOT THE INDIVIDUAL PLAYER.
So for example, I own 3000 points of Daemons and Junx has 70,000 points of Daemons (I bet its true coz he actually needs not 1 but 2 cupboards, each of them taller than a man, to house his minis!!!). We will control a portion of the campaign map and a total of 73,000 points worth of Daemons for the entire campaign next year. How the control and movement of these 73,000 points will be fleshed out and presented later. At the same time, Junx also owns 89,000 points of Dark Elves (it's true, I've seen them! :p). Dylan intends to collect DE next year. Say he now owns about 500 points. Together, they own 89,500 points of Dark Elves. So the Dark Elves will also control a portion of the map, with a force totalling 89,500 points.
The idea here is to put down whichever race you want to play in the next campaign season. They will not always be solely tied to you alone. You can play for several races, as long as you own the minis. If you are intending to collect a new race in 2010, you can also declare whatever you have now and update me on the progress of your collection over the season. I will update the data.
The main thing is this... there will be no more numerical score to keep track of each person's progress. Instead, there will be a visual color-coded campaign map (electronic form, easy for everyone to track) that tells us which RACE (not individual) has control of which tile map. There will also be stats to tell us how each RACE (again, not individual) is doing.
To give you an idea, here's a pie chart of the various races submitted for next season's campaign:
To give an idea of the scale in the pie chart, the smallest army declared for next year is 2500 points.
So do fill in the forms so I can knuckle down and prep for next season's campaign nice and proper before the current Warmaster League is done.
Thanks all!
