Deadzone 2 Campaign

[Ray]

Doesn't picking forces before rolling mission make items entirely unusable. If you give people items then roll the scavengers scenario you have literally spent points on things you need to use/discard before you can complete mission objectives.

[Tom]

Totally unusable is being more than a bit hyperbolic.

Chances of giving an item to every figure on your side is pretty low. And retreiving items in the scour mission is only a single point per item. You still get normal points for kill and are going to need to make some kills to hit the victory threshold.

So you'll probably use your item to get some kill points, then grab some lot and run when you're injured.

The book suggests you do it this way. If a majority want to mission before list then we can do it that way but I'd rather list before mission.

[JAC]

Difficult one. I could see it both ways. If you're a commander with good Intel you'd send the right team for the job...if on the other hand you were an exploratory force you'd want to be balanced to cover any eventuality.

Not sure on force yet, not sure I like the way the rats play.

[Mike]

If choosing list before mission then I am playing enforcers if choosing list after mission rebs. Rebs are not good all rounders but specialists where as enforcers are.

I'm going with the Asterians.

Forces edited into OP.

Lets have a mission roll before/after list making vote. In the event of a tie I enforce my will as campaign runner.

List first: 1 (Tom)
Mission First: 1 (Ray)

It has now been pointed out to me that page 6 says mission first then list. I was going by a bit on page 40 where it says:

For standard games of Deadzone, it is
recommended that a random mission is selected.
This makes for interesting gameplay and
encourages players to make more balanced army
list choices, as certain models will naturally be
better at different missions. Alternatively, if both
players agree, a specific mission may be chosen.

The bit about encouraging balanced army lists doesn't really work if you're rolling mission first, but the page 6 bit is much clearer so we'll go with that. Missions first, then lists.

[Dave]

I'm going with the Asterians.

Won't be doing Asterians, models are utter shite.

As an aside does anyone want to buy some Asterians......

[Ronq]

Does anybody have some brokkr I can borrow tomorrow please? And maybe some marauders if I have time for 2games!

[Ray]

I have a marauder army spare and it already lives in my case at the moment
