well folks, who's up for this? details are below, please let me have your thoughts and if you want to join in.
No land forces for this by the way.
These rules cover a proposed league for the Dystopian Wars game, and if enough interest is shown would start early 2012 to give everyone time to play a few more games, refine their force, and even purchase one if you are interested in entering.
The games would be 800pts and you do not have to keep the same force for each game but can swap for each and every game if you feel like it, or indeed use the same list each time.
Depending on how many players enter, we could run this as a simple play every one else type of league, or if you wish we could play a ‘home and away’ set of matches, where when you play someone one of you is the attacker and the other is the defender, and then later on you play them again and the roles from the first match are reversed.
For this I see there being bonus points up for grabs in so much as if you are the attacker and gain at least a ‘major victory’ you score an extra 2pts, and if you get a ‘major victory’ as the defender you score an extra 1pt.
As there are equal opportunities to play both attacker and defender then there are equal opportunities to turn around a major loss from the first game etc.
Each game will last no more than 2hrs, and must finish on a complete set of moves, i.e. whichever player goes second in any given new turn must be the last person to activate and use a squadron although this does NOT have to be the last squadrons) on either side.
In each game there are 6pts up for grabs and these points are split depending on the overall result, and as shown below;
PTS Difference Result PTS for each side
0 -150pts Draw 3pts for each player
151 – 300pts Minor Win 4pts winner – 2pts loser
301 – 450 Major Win 5pts winner – 1pt loser
451pts+ Massacre 6pts winner – 0pts loser
Also, it might be good to use the islands we have for these games, and I see them working thus;
Small Islands
Frigate size models can only shoot at models larger than themselves. All other sized models can fire at other models.
Medium Islands
Frigates can only shoot at models 2 sizes bigger than themselves, Cruisers can’t shoot at other Cruisers or Frigates, but can shoot at models larger than themselves. All other models can shoot at all other sized models.
Large Islands
This blocks line of sight for ALL models.
All other rules are as per the main rulebook.
