NTW Peninsula campaign rules

[KG_Kharkov]

Frank, please sticky:

Basic campaign rules (Peninsula campaign):

1. Pick a side: Limeys or Frogs

2. Spain is divided into 5 parts: West, Midwest, Central, Mideast, East

3. The initial battle is on the Central map. The Frogs pick the map; the Limeys the side.

4. Battles on the Central and Mideast and Midwest maps can be fought on any map on Sspoom’s list or otherwise agreed upon.

5. Initial battle is 12k armies per side, or 24k if 2 players vs. 2 players

6. The winner of two consecutive battles on the central or midwest/mideast map “pushes” the loser’s army onto the next map (e.g. Frogs win twice in a row, the next battle is on the Midwest map). The winner of the battle picks the next map, the loser picks the side to defend.

7. The loser of a battle loses 600 points. The attacker loses no points for a win unless he suffers over 50% casualties, then he loses 300 points.

8. Battles fought on the West or East map are fought on the special West/East maps from Sspoom’s list. Only one victory is required to push someone off the map in either direction.

9. The minimum amount of points an army can have is 9,000 (or 18,000 for 2 player) – you can’t fall below that. Winning a last stand on a West/East map adds 600 points back to your total.

10. Post your results in the NTW campaign results thread. I’ll keep the first thread reserved for battle location and total points.

11. Honor system: You can’t set separate totals for army sizes for each side so if one side has 10,000 points and the other has 11,000, the 10,000 point side is on the honor system not to pick over that. Sspoom did show me that you can check your opponent's expenditures by moving your cursor over his flag in the army selection screen.

I was thinking about a simple rule to provide for replenishment and thought this might work (and am proposing it now since we are back on the central map).

If you control the map for more than 2 consecutive battles (e.g. you've been fighting on another map during that time), you receive 100 points per battle after the initial 2 as long as you maintain control of the central map. That shouldn't effect totals too much but does give the attacker a bit of a reward for keeping the fight out of the central map.
