(Apologies for the late update... I was working very late on my CoD terrain last night.)
The Basement Gaming Bunker is announcing its first official publication - The Fog Of War. If anyone remembers the 1997 Epic 40,000 ruleset, you may remember the Battles Book contained a random mission generator by this name. For those who either haven't heard of it or need a refresher, this is what it generally was:
-Both players chose large armies.
-Terrain and objectives were placed as per a normal scenario.
-The random mission was chosen.
The missions were very broad in scope. For some, you could only use your Vanguard - which in Epic was your smallest standard detachment. Some used another 25% or 50% of your force, and some called for your entire army. Both players had different missions, so you could end up with something like:
Player A) One 200-point detachment, must survive four turns.
Player B) Full 2500-point army, must defend all objectives.
So occasionally the scenarios were a little lopsided, but the results were always entertaining.
For some time now, I've believed this system could be adapted to 40k, with missions ranging from a Combat Patrol to an Apocalypse force. Over the next two months, we're going to playtest various force restrictions and organizations, objective systems, victory conditions, special rules, and deployment options. The result will be the Basement Gaming Bunker's first free PDF download.
Anyone with interest in the project, contact me, or keep an eye on this space.
