We had 8 gamers playing in the campaign and the action was intense! Thanks to everyone who turned out to play. It's still not too late to get in on the action, you can still start off with 1,250 points and not be a too big a disadvantage against players that have been in since the start! This week's scenario will be "HELTER SKELTER". Your army isn't sure what they're doing, but they'd better be doing it full steam ahead! The Mission Objectives for each table won't be determined until the beginning of turn 3! You can download the scenario off of the web site. (And the rules are posted there also if you need those too!) Last week there were 4 players that took control of territories outside their home sector. Four other players managed to fight to a draw and activate one of their home sector territories. For the updated map, week 1 summary and the current player standings, visit the web site. If you didn't pay your membership dues in July, you'll have to pay the $5 entry fee Thursday night in order to continue in the campaign.
