Topic: Swapping "Forces"

My friend came up with this one, but i'm not too sure about it so i though i might ask you guys:

If in the Nemesis Crown, someone finds their cause (Dark Elves) practically wrong because it will overall not affect the campaign in many ways, then can they use their DE but register games for Empire.

For instance I would register with empire even though i used OK in a game and just say fluff wise that they see more point in the empire winning than themselves.

I don't know if this came across clearly but do you think taht this is immoral?

Immoral is a strong word, it is certainly not in the spirit of the game and I don't really like the idea of everyone jumping ship to try and get onto the 'winning' side.

I struggle to see the point of doing this, you would not be able to use any fluff without it being a complete fabrication (reduces your chances of an opponent also posting results). I don't think there is anything intrinsically stopping you from doing it but I would certainly not support anyone in doing it.

Simple: You're mercenaries. Though, I'd make sure that your opponent knows this if they're going to register the battle, and add a little fluff: I'm sure I saw a puddy tat human/dwarf/whatever (depending on who they're working fo)r with lots of money ordering them to our loation or something.

I don't think it's the best idea, if you wanna submit wins/losses for the empire then play the empire.

With OK, just say that they're hired by the Empire.

But I don't really like the idea, it's kinda lame.

For OK, I wouldn't have a problem for the reasons aleady outlined.

As to DE, well it might be feasible as they would mostly likely want to do whatever they could to stop the HE in achieving their goals, and the best way to do this would be to suupport the Empire.  Very spiteful and IC for DE in my opinion.

GDA aside, in the campaign booklet both OK and DE have their own reasons for taking part in the campaign. It just leaves something of a bad taste in my mouth that people would not support the cause of the army they are fighting with.

Yeah, but with DE, it's like "raiding season has come again and they will be raiding the coast of the old world"... F^&^, GW put a lot of thought into that 1

My grandma who doesn't play warhammer could have come up with a better storyline

Make up a better reason for your forces then? Like you're trying to overthrow Malaketh or something?
