Fantasy Miniatures Campaign Ideas

 As a follow on from my discussion about a Kings of War (KoW) campaign (see blog entry) and discussions with friends in June 2020 I had been thinking of setting up a SAGA Age of Magic campaign using the Might Empires (ME) campaign rules.   However more recently (2022) I think an even better rule set to use for this would be Fantastic Battles (FB) l.2, and it has its own campaign rules.

 Alternatively the Mighty Empires campaign  rules can be found here:

The campaign I envisage will be for 4 to 6 players as anything larger has the potential to breakdown if players don't contribute in a timely manner.  .

This will be an "evergreen" document as it gets updated with new ideas and modifications.


Potential Campaign maps.

 

From the old Avalon Hill board game Wizard Quest
 

The above map would work for up to 9 players in FB 1.2 as you need 4 regions per player, although it is set up for 6 players. I have 9 races I could use: Undead, Tomb Kings, High Elves, Wood Elves, Dark Elves, Dwarfs, Bretonnian / Human, Orcs, and Chaos.

Possible race distribution on the Wizard's Quest map's 6 regions:

 

1. Golden Dunes = Tomb Kings or Dark Elves

2. Whispery Meadows = High Elf or Bretonnian / Human

3. Misty Forest = Orcs or Dark Elves

4. Fields of the Fallen = Gothic Undead and or Tomb Kings

5. Ancient Woods = Wood Elves and or High Elves

6. Crystal Mountains = Dwarfs
