Medusa IV- 40k map campaign

Collected here are the various posts for my Medusa IV map-based 40k campaign that I ran at the local gaming club. It is loosely based on the Planetary Empires expansion and details the fight over the Kharysian sector of the planet between rival alliances, each with their own secret objective to complete.

CAMPAIGN TURN 2



Battle Phase 1

With the first turn battles fought, some of the players have been successful in capturing new territories for their army and alliances. Turn 2 also allowed for the construction of buildings to help their forces in battle as well as allowing players to attack any position on the map.

CAMPAIGN TURN 3

Battle Phase 1

The ever insidious threat of Chaos reared its ugly head as a new force seized position on the map. Their arrival heralded the loss of a significant portion of the Ork army to the North. Whether this was related was not for the understanding of mortal men (We welcomed a new player to the campaign who joined The Coming Darkness, while losing one of the Ork players at the same time).

The players made their last moves for the year, their armies readying themselves for winter drawing in.

Campaign Turn 4

The fight for the Kharysian sector kicked off once again after the Christmas break.

Battle Phase 1

The players had evidently been very busy during the break in the conflict, as a flurry of Manufactorums and other buildings were constructed at the start of turn 4.
