Ah, I see, thanks Wissenlander. However, it appears I've hit my first snag...even though it says I'm registered for the US, in my battlezone report locations, all it lists are UK battle sites! Argh!

wissenlander · « **Reply #201 on:** June 27, 2007, 03:43:50 PM »

That must be the problem. Looking on the NC site, all of the US guys are reporting on UK landmarks.

I guess the techies will have to get it sorted out. If you can, e-mail them and let them know what's up.

OOC:

Wissenlander,

I agree that it makes sense fluff-wise to evacuate peasants from Mattengard to the Inn. I think Mattengard is destined to be razed and its not a high priority location anyway. Our best strategy is to hold and reinforce the fort and Aunwaldheim, which gives us a strong point in the South to hold the region (they are both very close to each other). If we hold on to the Headless Badger after this weekend, then we have strong points at both the North and south ends of the road - and a proliferation of homeless, angry free company (Mattengard peasants) to use throughout the campaign!

Alright, e-mail away. I only rolled a 4 on the initial shot of the e-mail, so let's hope it gets a good bounce.

I haven't posted my battles yet. I'm waiting for some friends to sign up. Any way to see where I'm positioned before, or do I need to post a battle until I see if I am positioned in the correct region?

wissenlander · « **Reply #205 on:** June 27, 2007, 04:06:03 PM »

No clue. There's a way where one can post a battle report and the other person can come along and add their side of the story. If you click on the date when looking at someone's battle you can see part of their report 'fluff.'

Sorry for being dense ... but just to make things clear. I was assigned by the high command to escort villabers from Mattengard to the H. Badger. I will play two games this week. Where should I report the victories, i.e., should I report the outcomes for Mattengard or H. Badger?

Again, sorry to be dense, and thanks for all your work on this ...

wissenlander · « **Reply #207 on:** June 27, 2007, 04:31:25 PM »

No problem. If you are going to play one Mega Battle game, report it there and the other one at Mattengard. If you are just escorting villagers out of Mattengard, report both battles at Mattengard (rear guard action).

Remember, there are no stupid questions. Just stupid Gunlines.

Ernst Brauer · « **Reply #209 on:** June 27, 2007, 05:53:07 PM »

When will we know the results of the Headless Badger mega-battle? I'd like to start evacuating refugees, but it doesn't sound like a good plan until we know what the outcome there would be.

I have a battle with a freind prepped and ready to go for it.

wissenlander · « **Reply #210 on:** June 27, 2007, 05:58:45 PM »

The battle is this weekend, so a report should be up by Monday I would think.

We might not be able to wait around too long on the escort duty. Mattengard itself isn't very defensible. If we get enough people that want us to switch the rendezvous point we will, right now the Inn is what most agree upon.

We can have the refugees push south towards Auenwaldheim or Waldberg. Waldberg seems like the safest bet, I don't know of any major threat to that sector. Thoughts?

Dendo Star · « **Reply #211 on:** June 27, 2007, 06:01:44 PM »

Waldberg. No taking chances on civilian lives.

wissenlander · « **Reply #212 on:** June 27, 2007, 06:37:03 PM »

Ok, changed to Waldberg. Just for reference, I updated the first post in this thread. That will be the orders for the week from here on out, so we don't have to sift through the entire thread.

wissenlander · « **Reply #213 on:** June 27, 2007, 07:54:53 PM »

I've noticed that there are some that have posted multiple battles thus far (no one here). We now know this is possible to do, so it will be easier for cheating to take place. I'm not accusing anyone of that, but be careful/mindful of what you're doing. GW has stated that they will keep an eye on suspicious accounts that post multiple victories that are nothing but massacres/victories.

Over at Warvault we discussed whether saving up games should be allowed. This will probably be a personal decision, but I do not think that there should be saved up games utilized in the opening days, and many of the others in leadership positions in this campaign thought the same way. The reasoning for this is because of an unknown cut off point, people could have stored battles from months back. Now, battles from the night before the campaign launch won't be a problem, so no worries there.

This is just a kind warning to not abuse the system and get an account banned. I'd hate for someone to get booted over a misunderstanding.

You can actually have more than one battle posted per day in the same way the Medusa Campaign worked. You personally can only post one. It shouldn't let you do more than that. However, if your opponent puts in your number and he reports it, then you can get a 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th battle reported just by confirming your participation in the battle. It isn't cheating if you do it that way. I believe the Nemesis Crown FAQ actually encourages more than one battle daily. I can't remember where though. In other words play as many battles as you can and have your enemies report the results.

For instance you can actually play the same gamer twice and each of you reports one of the battles. Once you have reported one battle though, it will not let you report another. Should you play another friend, he can report the battle and you just confirm it on the site. You still get the credit.

Unless you think this is sneaky, and underhanded. But then again, I am playing an Goblin army in the campaign too.

wissenlander · « **Reply #215 on:** June 28, 2007, 11:21:56 AM »

It's fine to do it, especially if it's within the rules. But be wary if you only post that you won massacres, it'll start looking a little funny. Just a friendly reminder to play within the rules, whatever they may be for this campaign.

wissenlander · « **Reply #216 on:** June 28, 2007, 11:48:48 AM »

Ok, word on the street is that you can really only report 1 battle per day. All of the high numbers of battles could be from other people confirming battles. We don't want to get behind the 8-Ball here. Anyone who has battles, post them.

Either target Egondorf or the Bitter Moon Inn. These are areas that are near Waldberg and Auenwaldheim and reflect our UK brothers' plans.

I know this sucks, but let's not hold back and let an opportunity slip through our grasps!

I just went ahead and posted it under Egondorf last night.

Good good. Post your reports as saying something like: Trying to find our way to objectives but must've gotten lost due to maps or sorcery. Make up a reason why we're not where we're supposed to be.

Mention the unnamed sites by their new names. We may not be able to post at these unnamed sites, I'm not sure if they give you the option in the drop down menu. We may have to scrap our entire plan and start over though. I'm not sure as of yet, but we'll have to wait and see.

Also, remember to add some fluff into your reports. A good brief description of what happened is fine (just one or two major battle events) but hit our fluff objectives hard. Keeping civilians safe, mention Helstrom and other generals. Whatever army you fight, try to tie in something about their army.

Capt.Braddock · « **Reply #219 on:** June 29, 2007, 01:15:47 AM »

Where should we be reporting our battles again? where are our forces being concentrated? Thanks for the help, i'm having trouble figuring it out.

wissenlander · « **Reply #220 on:** June 29, 2007, 11:23:24 AM »

Check the first post in this thread for this week's orders.

If you can't post at your location because it isn't available, mark your battle for the closest option and let your fluff reflect that your battle took place where it's supposed to (Waldberg, Auenwaldheim).

GW fixed the problem, we're back in business. No more UK sites!

It was nice having our American cousins on our side though, good luck on the border.

Well lads, tommorow my relief force should arrive in Auenwaldheim despite the attempts of those vile greenskins. My relief force informs me they were attacked on the road by a host of undead from the Lands of the Dead, however the undead and mysteriously withdrew. Despite all this my relief force should arrive at the Headless Badger tommorow and aid in its defense. Sigmar Protects!

Nog64 · « **Reply #223 on:** June 29, 2007, 03:20:51 PM »

Yes, I will be there tomorrow as well. Some Wood Elves trying to stop us from escorting the civilians, but we took care them easily.

Ansel · « **Reply #224 on:** June 30, 2007, 05:32:34 AM »

My local game store is holding a small games con this weekend and I have lined up to play in the Headless Badger scenario tomorrow. I played Tomb Kings today, made a small tactical error (misjudged distance) and got routed. I was winning until that point. My opponent wasn't registered, but to be fair I will report the loss anyway. Tomorrow my Bogenhafen Irregulars are going to run some supplies up to the inn and happen to be there when the fighting breaks out. Then they will high tail it back to the fort to stomp some Greenskins.
