How many points a side for Maksim's CONQUEST game? - Two to eight players... I've planned 1,800 points a side with the provision if only two show up then we'll combine two of the sides for a 3,600 point game. It is scenario-driven as well. I'm now questioning whether 1,800 points is adequate. What does everyone think? Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |

Hi! I dont have such a good grasp of E:A point values, but viewing the book and the troops available it sounds okay. I assume this 1800 point total is to be divided with the players that show up? Primarch |

Is this game a Demo or a game assuming some level of familiarity? dafrca |

It's a demo (beginners welcome), but I think only experienced players will be there... Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |

Each of the players wll receive an 1,800 point force unless... We have only two players in which case, we'll play two 3,600 point sides or a different agreed-upon number. Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |

If you expect experienced players I would bump it up to 2,000 points per player. Thats is still playable as a complete newbie and a decent force for for experts. Take Care and best of luck. So when are your driving down to Santa Maria with that board...

This is where I was going with my qustion. If the focus of the game is to Demo and you hope to pull Newbies, I would keep the points down and in fact I would build a force based on keeping the rules simple as well (limit the units with lots of "exceptions"). However, if your target is the player who already knows the rules then a higher point total makes more sense and yu will just have to hand hold any newbies who show up. dafrca |

Hi! I agree for newbies a smal force with the basic units to better grasp the mechanics is best, with a higher points amount for those who know the game already. Primarch |

Based on my experience running a variety of demo and participation games I would offer the following advice. If it is a demo/participation game, restrict each participant to a single formation and give them a card with all the relevant information on it. Avoid complex units (or simplify them). I would also avoid air units and artillery. |

Hi Everyone, We decided to go with 1,000 point sides so that if alll eight players show up, there will be two 4,000 point sides. CONQUEST planning: - Chern and I decided to have 1,000 point sides... - Prepared 8 plus various 1,000 point army lists for CONQUEST (SM, Eldar, Nid, IG, etc.)... CONQUEST terrain planning: - Discussed Agriworld terrain set (I'm using it for CONQUEST)... - Discussed Mars Forgeworld terrain set... Fun: - Met Chern at gaming shop and playes Settler of Cataan with Cities and Knights expansion - cleaned his clock... - Watched one of those WFB Dwarf axe-thrower things go in a WFB game... very cool... like a big lawn-mower of troops... Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |
