So there is a vote currently on but I wanted ye guys to go into the Home nations and get an unbiased look at the rules pack before making decisions. I would like peoples opinions on the following. Voting ends tomorrow night:
Voting starts 19/03 and ends April 2nd, 23:59 Forum Time. Only current captains can vote if your team participated in any of the last two ETC's.
Where votes have several options for a given question option (like A1, A2 or A3), Countries voting should also stipulate what answers from are preferable to their team in case the vote should not swing their way and vote as follows: B (A1) which would constitute a vote for B but with a preference for A1 should majority decide to go for option A.
Vote Question 1
-------------------
A. Increase the importance of maelstrom points ingame by allowing the scoring of three cards per turn
A 1 - Keep the existing 18 objectives
A 2 - Add a couple of extra objectives than those currently in the deck and keep current point distribution (this means maelstrom becomes more important for misison scoring)
A 3 - Add a couple of extra objectives than those currently in the deck and increase the point values for eternal war to keep the same balance between EW and
Maelstrom mission
B. Keep the current guidelines for maestrom scoring as per ETC 2014
Vote Question 2
-------------------
Total votes from A (sum of A1 to A5 votes) and B will decide if we will or will not reduce KP scoring in missions. The sum of A1 to A3 will be compared to the sum of A4 to A5 to see if we will use KP's at all or replace them as a mission for scoring instead of a moidifier for final mission points. If A4 to A5 would get majority votes, a straight up majority will decide if it will be A4 or A5 to be used. Countries voting for B should also stipulate what answers from A are preferable to their team in case the vote should not swing their way and vote as follows: B (A1) which would constitute a vote for B but with a preference for A1 should majority decide on a reduction in KP weighing factor.
A. Reduce the weighing factor of Killpoints in final mission scoring
A1- 6 maximum difference
A2- 4 maximum difference
A3- 2 maximum difference
A4- no KP difference but use killpoints as one of the scoring means in a mission instead of an eternal war mission
A5- no KP difference but use killpoints as one of the scoring means in a mission instead of maelstrom
B. Do not Reduce the weighing factor of Killpoints in final mission scoring
Vote Question 3 - Only valid if A was chosen in vote 2
-----------------------------------------------------------
A. The points left over from killpoints reduction will be used to maximally increase points earned from Eternal War Missions and its Objectives
B. The points left over from killpoints reduction will be re-distributed in general mission scoring
C. Equally distribute leftover points between EW & Maelstrom mission scoring
Vote Question 4 - LOS issues for flyers
-----------------------------------------------------------
A. Keep current ruling (Keep the 22.5 angle up and down from weapon muzzle)
B. Change the current ruling to one of the following
B1 - Keep the 22.5 angle up and down from weapon muzzle but allow a ruleschange that you ignore the firing model for LOS purposes
B2 - Implement a deadzone around the flyer where models can't be affected by flyers shooting, measuring from its base, extending 8 inches out
Vote Question 5 - Fortifications
-----------------------------------------------------------
A. Players can only ever field a single fortification regardless of how many detachments they are fielding
B. Players can field as many fortifications as allowed by the detachments they are fielding
Vote Question 6 - Detachments
-----------------------------------------------------------
We had a vote on 'named' formations and restricted them, so I feel the same vote should be had (was overlooked) for Detachments
A. Teams can field every named detachment (like Hive Fleet Detachment and Decurion Detachment) only once in the team. This does not count for a normal CAD
B. No restriction on named Detachments
Vote Question 7 - Base Sizes
----------------------------------------------------------
What base size should you use for models that have a 25mm and a 32 mm base option?
a - All applicable models must be on a 25mm base in an army.
b - All applicable models must be on a 32mm base in an army.
c - All applicable models must be on the same base size, either 25mm or 32mm, within a given unit. Separate units can be on different sizes within one army.
d - All applicable models can have either size and mixing and matching in a unit is allowed.
e - All applicable models must be on the same base size, either 25mm or 32mm, within the army.
