Hi
Yet agan it's not a comment or a point of view just a question and Gerry's post is not a 3+ cover save. I dont want to make an assumption regarding the answer.

There is f&*k all cool about 10+ civil engineers running around every battlefield

I am violently opposed to anyone being made the winner in this campaign, there has been too many flaws during the whole debacle.
1, Created units used which where not play tested - illegal units IMHO
2. So called new Rackham units being used from a pdf
3. Arguments over rules, scenarios etc, all lead to bad feeling and a campaign that sucked.
4. On my own part a gentlemanly gesture towards another player was not reciprocated by the same faction when an opportunity arose.
I left the campaign, knowing I have made an error, which may or may not have lost me that game, we will never know because I Retreated, not due to my mistake but due to the reaction from my opponent.

Hi Guys ... I guess Marko's put the final nail in the coffin for this FB Campaign.
As too Banksi's comments, I would have to agree on some points ... There's no need to create ANY new unit types/abilities for the current army books that are floating about. Each has a fine balance in pro's and con's to make battles between the factions interesting. Tweaking them to only have advantages is wrong, imho.
As too arguments over everything, to me, this is due to lack of play-testing out the bugs, especially in the various sectors. Players will always fight their army's corner, so when their in a sector, they will try and get as many advantages from defending that position while we're trying to iron out it's bugs ... not the way to play-test anything! Impartial views & opinions are needed to get things right before the new FB Campaign should start!
From "speaking" with players in other forums, their ALL of a mind that any one faction can defeat an opponents on any given day when players have enough experience and know-how to do so. Strangely enough, as I was watching Marko's UNA battle Zellak's Therians, it all came down to dice rolls on the day, and some wonky gameplay! Granted, Marko needed higher rolls, maybe a 4+ on average compared to Z's 3+, but the dice gods where in the Therians corner. Marko made one mistake in his strategy with knowing his troops, and getting his range wrong with a mortar attack which forced him near to Z's Arachn's, which climbed over the unit and destroyed it, turning the whole tide of the battle! From it's original position, the AFV could have bombarded the Arachn's for two rounds without having to worry and totally destroy them, but we'll never know. Even with the best strategy, tactics, gameplay, troops, etc, the dice gods ALWAYS decide!
So, I say move on. If Zellak wants the campaign victory, let him have it. Who cares ... this campaigns claimed way to many players heads for it to be something to boast about!
My concern is with transferring the problems we have now to the new campaign, and ending up in the same scenario one year later! A review on ALL inHouse Rules needs to be addressed, especially if victory's are won with any "Foul Play!" Firstly, it's a game! Lets not add in rules that reflect true life ideals, e.g. LoS getting waaaaaay to technical in my book. Let everyone have their say and let Da' Umpire decide. We're never all going to agree on rules that work against us, so the least number of rule tweaks the better in my book.
Just some more of ranting's! ... Walts!

Well Gents,
I think that that is it. I think we all learned a number of valuable lessons from this campaign which will enable us to deal with the rules etc better in the next one.
One or two for me listed below
Armies taken from the army books / authorised sources only
Umpire in place from the very start
Umpire determines how the scenario is interpreted
No Gentleman's agreements ingame( It affects the strategic side of the game too much)
ALL army lists checked prior to the campaign starting
Cheers
Da'Umpire

And I am watching YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Gerry ... I would agree that the Da' Umpire gives a final verdict on all things, but I do believe we all want our say as well?
Authorised sources ... that's going to be a stumbling block with the Storm Arachns for me, especially as some global "players" say the new ones floating around where binned because of the "Group Sacrifice" not being tested and based on Version 2 of the AT-43 core ruleset. Depending on who u "speak" too, u'll always get different opinions. Mines always goes with a written copy as gospel! But, even errata's for them get published! 
Umpire points ... yeah, as long as I get too rant! 
Gentlemen's agreements are a No-No for sure. Play the rules as written.
Army lists .. yeah, that should be fun for u! ... Walts

Have no issue with that but once a decision is made on something there is no going back and no further discussion on it

We need to decide what we are accepting as authorised sources. I included that phrase as otherwise the understairs erratta/FAQ falls into that category and if the Storm Arachns aren't authorised it could be argued that neither is the FAQ. In fact that arguement for that would probably be stronger as it isn't the original Rackham FAQ anymore

Only if there's a point to the rant!!!! 
Quote (Balrog) Army lists .. yeah, that should be fun for u!
Yeah, Always wanted to be a schoolteacher....NOT!!!! I'm not marking them for people, but they will be checked before the campaign starts otherwise we don't get underway and there will be no changing them every two minutes. In fact I might even put a MP cost to doing that during the campaign. Another tweak for my list( But this tweak affects EVERYBODY!!!!!!)
Cheers
Gerry

@ Zellak... Perhaps you don't realise the effect your win at all cost has on people... I am at this time considering whether or not to return to the club. Your so called victory lap isn't making it any easier, but then again you seem to enjoy hollow victories.
@Da@umpire
I like the plan for future campaigns so far.

How about if it has a proper AT-43 card to go with it, that would make it authorised.

@Banksi ... Not sure what u mean? Do u mean the Therian Wyvern has no card ergo it's a No-No? I don't think there's official cards available for the Red Blok BTR5, or the Therian Kraken ... or is there? ... to name a few.
Remember, the cards do not show the special abilities that units can perform. For example, the Storm Arachns ability "Group Sacrifice" is only listed in the PDF manual, so as they have a card, they get to keep this ability? ... Walts

The Wyvern Golgoth:
Although the Kraken Golgoth cannot fly....remember that in the rules, it is possible for AFV to fly if their Company buys the Rocket Jump ability for 250MP.
This means that the Therians can still jump across the ice floes in the Black Fortress battlefront, and also across chasms found in all battlefronts.
So flying Therian transports are legal. And must have been playtested at some point.
Its not just the fact they can fly, its the Dash Therian routine that gives the true advantage.

I am talking about the basic rules as written and playtested by Rackham.
In their version Dotch Yaga can fly.

Ahhhhhh, now I see why Z created the flying Wyvern! I'd forgotten about that tweak.
So, as the rules of a "Jump System" (if played as they should be @ 100%) do give all AFV's flying capabilites, but u have to pay the 250 points for them, I say go back to that original rule. It's 250 points ... the price of a unit, so not really cheap ... Walts

There are no cards for any transports except the ONI one. The other transports stats are in the Frostbite book if I'm not mistaken.
