Even fielding 3,000-5,000 pts of models...it's still just a single battle( a single BIG battle). I was wondering if anyone has tried a full-scale planetary battle...one where each battle has rammifications, ie. the winner gets more points for the next battle or the loser cannot use any fast attack or similar effects.
Being a Tyranid player, I'd love to try this out...start a few battles using Battlefleet Gothic, each battle affecting the next...
Then launch the planetary assault...maybe 2 tables, like in a WD i read, with one table being an "artillary" table...Earthshakers lobbing shells over onto the "main" table. Stop the guns or you get pounded each turn!
Tons of possibilities...as long as each battle has a pre-set win/lose consequence for each army. Makes each victory even sweeter!
Maybe even a world map, divided into areas that give the holder a bonus...
sorry...went off on a bit of a rant there...
but it would be fun!
