Da Space Hulk calling Da Boyz
Game update
This project was never meant to be a serous entry for the competition other than to be a fun idea, and it has become just that.
Keith a member of our group had over the years picked up a couple of 2nd hand copies of the original Space Hulk maps plus Space Crusade. Using these we laid out a test layout with 4 entries for our respective Ork groups, limiting to on Boss and 4 boys in each group.
We split the table into zones and then generated random spawn points rolling for locations on the map, colours Poker chips were used to mark these. At start of each move these would be rolled for 1-3 nothing would appear and 4-6 a blind would be put down.
The blind would move in random direction and was not effected by closed doors etc, moving a standard 6 movement points until one of our units was able to draw a line of sight and then a card would be drawn from a pre-arranged pack, spades would be pure Genestealers and Clubs Cultists, , the care value would be the no up to a max of 5 figs.
The intial play through (still playing) is to nail down rules, and for future games we will decide on goodies in cleared rooms for campaign games.
So far its been so much fun that 2 of the group have been buying Orks to set up own teams ( the 3rd doesnt buy figures). I have brought Battlesystems Gothic Terrain system to expand it and we think the Doom maps will be tried to give wider corridors as the single corridors have been limiting combat which has been only criticism so far.
