It hasn't really started yet. Only one person has done games that I can see.
So you are not really late at all.
PM RedOrc with your info and see what he says. He is pretty open to players.

Indeed - the campaign is very much open due to it only having I think four confirmed groups of players so far, and only two of which have got as far as supplying maps. Anyone is welcome - please, if you're thinking of getting involved, send me a PM and we can get you started.

As LordOdo and Mitchelxen have supplied maps for their territories, I've put those maps on the greater grid.

I might have to re-size things as they look a bit pokey on the grid as it is. Also, if we don't get more players, I might re-assign how much territory is covered by each square...

EDIT: sorry about the re-imaging, I'm having issues with photobucket at the moment.

We are looking at adding at least one if not two more players. I will have to do two new maps up. Please keep a spot open in the North.
Thanks!
We have finished Campaign Turn#2. Made some changes to the rules and we had our first Hero death. Update to follow.

Spots left open - as I say I might end up tweaking (not twerking) the map anyway. Minor juggling of positions not a problem.

Keep us informed as to how things are progressing in your warzone! As to hero death, it is a sad but inevitable thing. I know your system has campaign rules, so does this mean that 'dead is really dead' and he missed his roll to come back when recovered? It's not Sir William, is it? Or are you not saying here as you want to (quite properly) report back to the King on the fate of Boldhand, Captain of the North?

You do realise that there's now a rumour going round that Sir William was killed in the last engagement, don't you? Blimey, I love campaigns...  lol

Mitchelxen, where are the Kingsguard miniatures from?

Those are from our line of Free Companies circa 1993.
Here is a link to pics.
We do not have them posted on our website, but we can get them done for you if you are interested. They do seem to be slightly smaller than modern 28mm's as can be seen in the size comparison photo here second row, second figure from the left https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/002/270/196/7e01b0741ad1703984fa9c1d3d362ce3_large.jpg?1405181170

See the whole line on our Facebook at https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/t1.0-9/10563108_479495425519322_4563034664147324912_n.jpg
Pictures are grainy though.

Nice! I'll keep them in mind, as they really suit a project I'm planning to do :)
But first we've this campaign!  :D

We made a couple of changes to our campaign.
First, in order to bring the Army sizes up over 30 figures (and thus make the games more crucial in the overall Collaborative Campaign) we added two Units to each Army. This brought our total Army size to 3625 points each.

Empire of Necropolis added the Knightsguard of Dragar a twelve man Halbred Unit and Belzar's Lancers a four man cavalry Unit (Knights).

The Bone Warriors added a six man mace Unit called the Horde Shockers and a six skeleton Cavalry Unit the Dread Horseman.

We also made a rules change (this is what playtesting is for). You can now pay for replacements in the next campaign turn and bring your Units up to strength. Also, if a Unit is destroyed it may be replaced but it loses any and all experience upgrades. This will make losing a Unit painful moving forward.

We have updated the Collaborative Campaign - Northern Front Report as well. We are enjoying the campaign, thanks to RedOrc for the push or this would not have got going, it was just what we needed!

Interesting stuff here. I'll be following this more closely from here on in.

Red Orc - Can you please add a third faction to our Campaign?

The Dwarves of the Flaming Forge have heard rumours of the fighting to the north of their empire. The mighty King has dispatched his Hero and a small force for a  reconnaissance in force of the northern border. Troops have been posted to Forge Haven to strengthen the border garrisons. Dispatches and Army list to follow.

Thanks!

No problem. I will add the new info to the map as soon as I can.

Has this now become a three-way fight, do you think, or are you expecting alliances to come into play? Or is it too early to tell, do you think?
