Since folks are talking about missions, I figure I'll throw up some I've been working on. At this point it's a rough draft, so I'm looking for any input y'all can offer.
Moving Forward
As Colonel Toyota of the 1337th Cadian once said, "Slowing down is for heretics!"
Deployment: Spearhead. 5 Objectives are placed, 1 in the center of the board and 1 in the center of each table quarter. Normal roll off and Seize.
Primary: Hold objectives. The objective in your quarter is worth 0, while your the one in your opponent's quarter is worth double.
Secondary: Kill Points
Tertiary: Bring more units to the opposite long table edge
Bonuses: Kill HQ, Have more units in your opponent's DZ than they do in yours, ?, ?
This one is a twist on the normal objective mission, encouraging players to get out there and grab some turf and getting rid of boring turtles. However, since there are 3 objectives up for grabs, a shootier or slower army is still capable of winning by holding these and contesting their own.
Decimation
Kill! Maim! Burn!
Deployment: Pitched Battle
Primary: Modified Kill Points. Instead of counting straight KPs, count the percentage of KPs. So, for example, player A racks up 10 KPs out of player B's 20 KP army while player B kills off 7 of player A's 10 KP army. Player B wins 50% to 70%.
Secondary: Table Quarters. Have more units (not just scoring units) in a quarter than your opponent. Scoring units count as 2 units for this purpose only.
Tertiary: Destroy enemy transports (and Tervigons/Monoliths)
Bonuses: Kill Elites/Fast Attack/Heavy Support (player's choice, empty slot means you can't pick it), Units in opponent's deployment zone, kill HQ, kill Troops.
This one is a straight up killy game, but it removes a lot of the sillyness inherent to the KP system.
So, there are my missions. I'll stress again that these are rough drafts, so your feedback is greatly appreciated.
