Storming the Castle - Scenario Bk 2 - question.
Hi all,
I'm keen to host a large multiplayer game of OGRE using a scenario with specific victory conditions. I've got the KS version with all the extra forces released. I like the look of Storming the Castle and I have a few questions for those that have planned or, or even designed it! 1- is there a reason why trucks/hover trucks aren't allowed? The standard unit rules state that GEVs are allowed and the variant force rules (which I will use) state that units with a Mv value of 2 are allowed. Would trucks/hover trucks carrying troops with Mv of 1 "break" the game? 2- how long does it take per player? For e.g. I might have 4-6 players and I'm hoping it wouldn't last longer than a day to play casually, i.e. 4-6 hrs or so). 3- any advice or feedback from experience. Such as things to avoid, sticky rules conflicts, changes to the scenario? Thanks in advance! Al. |

The real issue is trucks and hovertrucks do not have an intrinsic point value, so it gets more complicated when throwing them into a point system that isn't explicitly defined by the scenario. It's easier to just exclude them and not have to design for them to be used.

I think I'll run it as is, and might throw in an OGRE mark I-II as a choice option too. I'm hoping it will be a fun game with 6 players. My real fear is that it will take several hours to finish and that might temper the enjoyment from playing it... |
