5th Edition Mission Generator, Alpha VersionSomething I worked on. I'd like feedback from players that play the missions.
5th Edition Mission Generator:
Roll for deployment and first turn as normal, including rolls for seizing the initiative. This generator has missions that are objective based and missions are based solely on inflicting casualties. I appreciate any feedback.
Terms and Definitions:
Dawn: The first turn of the game is fought with the Nightfighting rules. The first player makes a Reserves roll for Daylight. Once Daylight arrives, the game is fought with Daylight rules.
Daylight: No Nightfighting rules.
Dusk: The first two turns of the game are fought with Daylight rules. The first player makes a Reserves roll for Night. Once Night arrives, the game is fought with Nightfighting rules.
Long Table Edges: This refers to the deployment type “Pitched Battles” on page 92 of the WH40K rulebook.
Night: Nightfighting rules are in effect for the entire game.
Unit: The following are Units: A Vehicle or Vehicle Squadron. A Squad. An Independent Character. A Retinue or Squad purchased for an Independent Character. A Monstrous Creature.
Within “X” inches: A Vehicle or model counts as “Within” as long as any portion of the Vehicle’s hull or any part of a model’s base is within the distance described. The entire model/vehicle/unit does not have to be within the distance.
Roll 1d6 and consult the chart below, or simply choose a mission.
1: Take and Hold. Both Armies have decided to that the center of this map grid is vital to their offensive. The armies clash, neither willing to give up the forward position.
Place one objective marker in the center of the table and roll 1d6.
On a 1-3 the Deployment is Table Quarters.
On a 4-6 Deployment is Long Table Edges.
Special Rules: Deep Strike, Reserves.

Roll 1d6 to determine lighting conditions.

Win Condition:
The game is won by the player with the most units within 6” of the objective. Units of Troops count as two Units for purposes of scoring. Units which are fleeing do not count towards this total. Immobilized vehicles do not count towards this total. Units with 12” of the objective may only consolidate after winning a Close Combat. No unit may make a Sweeping Advance for any reason.
2. Hold The Line! The Armies collide as both seek to take ground from the other.
Place three objective markers on the board in the following manner:
Place one objective in the center of the board. Place one marker equidistant from the center to the short board edge to the right, and one equidistant to the short board edge from the left. This creates the “Line”.

Deployment: Table Halves.
Special Rules: Deep Strike, Reserves.
Roll 1d6 to determine lighting conditions.
On a 1-3: The mission takes place at Dawn.
On a 4-6: The mission takes place at Dusk.
Win Condition:
Each player is awarded 1 point for each enemy unit destroyed, and one point for each of their own surviving units. The highest score wins. Surviving units of Troops count as two Units for purposes of scoring. Units which are fleeing do not count towards this total. Immobilized Vehicles do not count towards this total.

Great ideas Steve!
Lets give some of these a try and see how they work out. I like that you stuck with the basics for the most part, that'll make these pretty straightforward to play.

I like it! I like the different times to fight too... Dusk seems fun!
I'm willing to play a game w/ this rules to see how it goes.

Pete and I played the "Carnage" mission, which he won. We decided to add a scoring system to encourage you to attack. Now, you score a point for each destroyed enemy unit (which includes fleeing units) and you score points for your own surviving units. Surviving Troops units count double (however, you don't score 2 points for destroying enemy Troops).
I'd like to try each mission at least once, and if anyone was planning on playing any, I'd love feedback.
