RAAAAT onna stiiiick, get your raaaaaat onna stick here ... Only 2 flat rocks and a sheckel ... c'mon guv'na, I'm cuttin' me own throat here ...
Your sarcasm is not needed here. What's needed is a level playing field, and by pre-genning battle reports without knowing the missions in advance, what people are doing is making up their results. So yeah, I feel i am justified in not liking people pre-genning battle reports for submission as early as possible.
Those initial points are not from pre-genned battle reports. They are the points assigned by the system to the forces that initially control the locations. You'll notice that every Faction in initial control of a location had 9 points in that location to indicate said control.
I think there is weighting or will be but I am betting na2 doesn't get wieghted. Na2 pano nomad and ariadna are all pretty big factions in the campaign. O12 aleph combined and the even smaller than ever before tohaa will likely get weighted.
Warhound you may be in for an unpleasant experience during the campaign. Last year people would play whatever scenario park their games and then apply their wins to the territory they want and their loses to one that didn't matter.
In wotan and flamestrike we were literally told that it was acceptable to play whatever scenario we liked and then let the winner chose the zone...
Indeed. Lots of stuff that's in the rules(be it the core rules, ITS, or campaign etiquette) is considered bullshit by someone or other, the problem with this is that it wasn't and still hasn't clearly been communicated to the players that the change was made...
You can choose Custom mission in battle report so I guess as long as you played a game you can report it to any of the locations
