General
The campaign will be run using a modified version of the rules found in the Mordheimer's Campaign Aid v1.2.
Rules Modified 11/19/09 to reflect actual changes in play. Old rules are here.
Allowed Warbands
Each player should have 2 warbands chosen from the list below. Those two warbands will be allied in the game but do not gave to be both good or both evil. If you want to play something not on this list, write it up and let Shawn know, there are a number of scenarios for NPC warbands and it can be used there. Warbands marked with an asterisk are already in play. You can still choose to play them however.
11/19/09: Removed Battle Monks of Cathy. Kris says they are broken.

The Map
11/19/09: Removed the Defendable option. Locations are either Primary or controlled. Players get points for both and can rush to Defend any controlled location..
The map has been modified with new locations added, a few moved and connections between locations somewhat altered. We will be playing with a variant of the Fog of War. Players will know their own locations, The Primary location of enemy warbands in location adjacent to locations they control, and if a location adjacent to one they control is controlled but not by which warband. They will also know the connections leading to/from the locations they control.
Map Key
Starting Locations
In addition to the 4 gate locations and the breaches the following warbands may choose to start at these alternate locations at the beginning of the campaign only. This is the warbands
Exploration and Looting
Exploration happens only after a battle. If a warband fights no battles they can loot instead gaining 1gc per Hero per CPV of Controlled locations. Heroes who are sent to shop or recruit can not participate in looting.
Warbands which gained wyrdstone as part of a scenario should subtract the number of wyrdstone gained in the scenario from the amount found during exploration.
Retirement and Changing Warbands
A warband must be played for at least 5 battles or destruction (1/2 original member lost) before it can be retired and the player start a new warband.
Heroes and Henchmen who fill their XP chart will be retired.
Trade and Recruiting
In order to purchase rare items or recruit new warband members heroes must be sent to one of the 4 settlements outside of Mordheim during the looting or Exploration phases. The heroes must be able to trace a unobstructed path though Controlled or allied locations and known connections (shown on the players map) to the target settlement. The heroes sent will be unavailable in any "Rush to Defense" combats that turn. They will always return to the warband even if the path is cut off by other bands movement.
If the settlement is the Primary location of an enemy warband it can not be used as a purchase location but it can be if it is Controlled or Unoccupied. Only one hero needs to be sent order to recruit any number of warriors, however each hero sent (including a recruiting hero) only get 1 die roll for purchasing rares per turn.
Warbands which start inside the ciry can use the location they started in as their recruitment location as long as they have owned it since the beginning of the game. Once it is lost it can never be used again.
Alliances and Truces
Warbands may form alliances. The details of benefits, sharing maps, moving against certain enemies, not moving into certain locations are up to the players forming the alliance. when 2 allied warbands meet in the same location they immediately declare a Truce.
Truces
At any point of a battle the warbands involved may declare a truce and stop the battle. The fight ends (or never starts) and both bands move on to a shared exploration phase. Collectively the bands roll 1 die per pair of heroes one from each warband +1 more die.
If one war band has more heroes they may roll a separate die alone for each unpaired hero. Any bad outcomes from multiples happen to both warbands (for instance if they discover a well and drink from it 1 warrior from each band drinks). Split all returns equally, selling items if needed. For good outcomes that do not have a monetary value roll each warband rolls a d6. The highest gets the benefit.
Battles
If a warband is attacked in a single location by multiple warbands the defender may choose to fight the enemy warbands seperatly or simultaneously or any combination if there are more than 3 attackers. If the warband chooses to fight the attackers seperatly the defenders do not get a chance to resolve XP gains or heal between the battles, however they do get an exploration roll after each battle.
Roll for Random Happenings at the begining of each players turn.
Use the critical hit tables on the lamiated sheets i will bring. They might not be the best choice but i have 3 and they are laminted.
Starting
This method of starting is intended to insure that every warband fights on the first Campaign turn. Truces are not allowed on this turn because of the special nature of the placement of warbands. The first battles must have a clear winner and loser.
Warbands will arrive in Mordheim via one of the 4 settlements. Each player should inform the GM which settlement they start at (or if listed above at which interior location). The warband does not Control this location. Do not start more than 4 warbands in any settlement.
Losers of a battle on the first round move to their second choice location. If the location is unoccupied they take control of the location without further combat. If the location is occupied resolve with a battle using the Camp Assault Scenario or Unawares Scenario with the occupying warband being the defender. Resolve all second round battles.
Winners of second round battles take control of the location, losers move to their third choice location. Play out the 3rd round just like the second. Preferably using the scenario that the losing band did not play in round 2.
If any warband has not taken control of a location at the end of round 3 they take control of the settlement. If for some reason there are two warbands at the settlement resolve with the Bar Room Brawl Scenario. A loser of the Bar Room Brawl moves to another settlement.
Game Flow
Additional Rules
Players may use the rules found in Power in the Stones. Which allows a wyrdstone to be appraised (20gc) rather than shopping and possibly used for its magic. This is restricted to certain warbands and has the potential to corrupt the ser.
