Campaign Map

The City of Vogen
The Vogen Campaign is based on the Imperial city of Vogen on the planet of Khai-Zhann. The campaign is map-based; some of the locations within Vogen are of varying strategic importance and hence have a Victory Point total allocated to them according to their status. For instance, a hab-block may be worth 1 VP, the Palace Grounds 4 VPs, etc. Some locations, however, will earn you no VPs at all.

Location Rules:
All the locations have special rules which are detailed below:

1. Vogen PDF Command HQ 2/4 VICTORY POINTS:  Imperial Guard players may claim their base for 2 Victory points. It counts as having two  3+ fortifications. However, if the base falls, the player that takes it can claim the Imperial Guard base for 4 victory points as the Guard’s morale is broken.

2. Administrative Quarter 2 VICTORY POINTS

3. Angel Square 4 VICTORY POINTS:  If a non-Imperial player takes Angel Square, they can elect to topple the statue at the centre of the square. If this occurs, all Imperial forces (Imperial Guard and all their variants, Inquisition, Sisters of Battle, Grey Knights and all Space Marine Chapters) suffer from –1 Leadership for the whole of the next Campaign stage.

4. Basilica Imperius Dominatus 2/4 VICTORY POINTS:  If an Imperial player controls the Basilica, they benefit from D3 Troop Choices having Feel No Pain in a CAD only. The Basilica is worth 2VPs to non- Imperial players, and 4VPs to Imperials; as the Basilica is a potent symbol of Imperial authority and cannot be seen to fail.

Map Turn Rules
The way the campaign is played is as follows:

I. Each player starts with one location at a random square on the map; the place where your forces have breached the walls, their HQ. This will be determined by the campaign organisers before the first stage of the campaign. A square with one of your army colour in is occupied by your forces.

II. Between stages, each player may order their army to move to a square next to one of their existing pins, even if the border between them is very small. Orders are completed by messaging Gary Walker on the respective Leicester All Scars Facebook group.

III. If different armies are in the same map square, a game of 40k will played with the owner of the other army at the next stage. The loser removes their army altogether, the winner claims that square by leaving his army in place. If there are already two armies in a square, you may move into it resulting in a three or four-player game.

IV. Players will be allowed to move until they enter someones square.

V. If you can't make a stage, you may still be attacked but the game will be resolved in between stages or the next stage you can attend.

VI. If you lose all your squares, you randomly select another square as Rule I.

VII. Games are of any agreed points value, and use a randomly determined Cityfight mission unless specified otherwise in the location information.

VIII. If your army occupies a location with a Victory Points value and there are no opposing pins in that location, you can claim those points to add to your total.

IX. At the end of the campaign (6 Turns), the player with the most Victory Points in total is the winner.

If you find that you have two games in a stage, it can be carried over to the next or played in between with the agreement of your opponent, who may find themselves in the same situation.
