| Post subject: | 3 Player Scenario? |
There will be 3 of us coming to the club tomorrow to play E:A and I was wondering if anybody had done a 3 player scenario before? I want to avoid playing 2 vs 1 as that's always a bit naff. Recently I played a Saga 3 player game and it was all right, although each player started on their own corner so obviously there was one of us who was 'in the middle' and so it was harder for him to win it. Scoring for that scenario was VP only, which is against most E:A scoring which is based on objectives. Thoughts? |

Put 3 objectives in middle in triangle pattern each side attacks from each side of triangle and has to seize 2 objectives. That way each player will face each other player and due to number of objectives you can't work 2 vs 1. So the points of the triangle are the objectives. If ends with 1 objective each player winner one with fewest losses. |

Are you looking for ways to prevent two players ganging up on the other, or are you unsure how to handle three players within the rules of the game? |

The former. Handling 3 players within the rules should be okayish. |

Might be annoying to the point of being unplayalbe, but you could impose −1 initiative if your next activation targets a formation beloning to the same player as your previous one, ignored if you are retaining. |

Sorry for digging out this post, but im on a gaming group with 2 other players and im thinking of possible ways to get all 3 of us in a game on ocasion, Somebody must have been down this road before, does someone has any ideas or tips on how to get an interesting 3 player game rolling? We have marine, eldar and squats to field in case it helps. edit: so far im looking into using the "Total war: Hold at Any Cost" scenario with the squats holding the line and Marines + Eldar swooping in, but id like to hear other thoughts |

FWIW, we tried that setup - http://i46.tinypic.com/2igj80y.jpg - and it worked. A tweak would be to go without blitz objectives and each player has to put 2 objectives 45cm away from their deployment zone and 30cm from any other objective. That will make people less likely to 'castle' up. |

I was wondering if you could have two normal armies and one guy with an imperator... |

Why not? Although my scenario is 1 vs 1 vs 1, not 2 vs 1. If playing with objectives it'd be very easy to beat a solitary imperator - screen it for 3 turns to stop it going anywhere, take all objectives. |

No, I meant 1 v 1 (normal battle) v Imp (objective 1 - not die, objective 2, prevent the other two from winning) |
