Fields of Blood Mighty Empires Campaign

Rules
Preamble

Each Empire begins with one tile

When battles are fought, players are awarded Empire Points that are used to
take over adjoining tiles

Players empire expands as they places banners on their tiles to mark territory

There are various ways of determining the Winner and this will be influenced by
the nature of the campaign i.e. whether it is narrative based fun campaign or a
competitive campaign weekend. Some options are:
1. Achievement of a narrative objective e.g. securing a port city, confining
Orc Empire to the mountains etc.
2. Most Empire Points at the end of a certain number of turns

Empires

Capital City assigned

Actions in campaign are determined in set order from smallest to largest empire
(based on tiles controlled). Number of cities is tiebreak, then castles, then die roll.

Order same for all phases of turn

City counts as two tiles when determining size of empire (Capital City as three
tiles)

Revenue

Each Empire collects revenue from any mine they control.

Mines can only be built on Mountain tile and generate 2D6x10 GPs per turn.

If you roll a double the mine is exhausted

Battle

Armies are 2400 points as per normal Warhammer rules

In addition, you should also have available two sideboards. The first is an
additional Special choice of up to 150 points and the second an additional
Rare choice up to 100 points. These cannot violate the normal restriction on
maximum of three of the same type of Special/two of the same type of Rare
restriction.

You may spend GP to buy sideboards for your battles. Each costs 400GP and you
may buy up to two for each battle. For largest Empire it only costs 200 GP for first
sideboard.
