Ok, this is a quick translation into english of the rules (it lacks only some specific rules when a battle engages one empire many bigger than than the other). Edit : I'll post the territory table later.
If there is anyone to correct and improve this text, I'll be glad to post the final version in the epic_fr's section of the campaign :
APYLOS SECTOR WEB CAMPAIGN ON EPIC_FR
INTRODUCTION Apylos Sector was cut of the Imperium since the Horus Heresy by Warp storms. It was a sector recently colonized by humans and settlers had to hardly fight Ork raiders and Eldar pirates to maintain their home. When Horus betrayed the Emperor, half the Imperial Guard garrisons and almost all Space Marines contingents followed him. The Imperium quickly sent reinforcements and when they reached the sector it was cut of by the Warp storms. Since this time, nobody can say how the situation in Apylos has evolved. But now the Warp storms are over. Apylos is now open to conquest to all the races of the universe...
Note of the conceptor : Please note that the general background is deliberately open in order to allow the players to appropriate it and construct their own background for their battles. You are free to enrich this background.
CAMPAIGN RULES

Progress of the campaign of epic_fr When two players want to participate, here is the procedure
1- Players must choose their faction, the Epic system used (EA, NetEpic, SM/TL), the size of the battle and possibly a scenario
2- Players must select territories in the empire of their faction Each player choose 1 territory/intrigue per complete 1000 points of their army. These territories represent the resources of their faction. Territory Bonus can be used during the battle. Players unveils their territories. Note that certain intrigues must be played at this moment.
3- Players play the battle Battle can be played using the choosen Epic system and territory/intrigue bonus.
4- Players must post the result of the battle on epic_fr in the campaign section We invite players to post battle reports in order to maintain the atmosphere of the campaign. Please try to clearly indicate the following results : Opponents (players, armies and factions) System used, size and scenario of the battle. Territories played. Winner.
5- Players must update the empires of the factions Winner of the battle can generate a new territory in the Territory Table (please give a name to the new territory) ; this new territory represent a lost world of the sector which has been re-discovered. Winner can choose to seize this new territory OR one territory played by his opponent (in this cas, the new generated territory is added to the loser's faction empire) If there is no winner (draw), there is no modification of territories. Each empire is indicated in a post on the epic_fr forum. Update these topics.
