 +====== Campaign ======
 +  * [[Crew Logs]] - Google sheets to record your crew rosters.  This page is display only however, editable versions and links to those will happen later
 +    * [[Crew Cards]] - Individual cards to be printed out on photos (4"x6") and folded or cut in half to be double sided.
 +  * [[Campaign]] - The game so far
 +
 +===== Progress =====
 +
 +6 Crews have now been created. 3 Crews have played introductory campaign mission 1, 5 Crews have played the demo fight.
 +
 +===== Gameplay =====
 +
 +  - Everyone turns up at my place
 +  - We do the [[campaign turn]] (Steps 1-2)
 +  - We all fight individual battles on the same table ([[campaign_turn#step_3|Step 3]]).  There's enough room on the table for five separate games (using a standard 2 foot square area).  I'll setup a number of pre built terrains under the tabletop that can then be built up.
 +  - We do post battle fallout ([[campaign_turn#step_4|Step 4]]) and work out if we want to do another campaign turn.
 +I'd also encourage all players to write-up their campaign turn to form an ongoing narrative. 
 +
 +
 +  * [[Star Cards]] - Each player has a set of 5 cards that can be used only once each in the campaign.
 +  * [[Factions]] - there's rules for having a more epic story where missions are tied to factions that have their own progress. I've come across a great list of tongue-in-cheek factions in the rpg [[https://www.drivethrurpg.com/m/product/270007|Never Tell Me The Odds]] that we could use to give more of a plot arc to the random tables.
 +  * [[Story Track]] - there is an example campaign of linked missions that can be used.  These missions occur amongst your other random missions and usually have specific rewards and setups.
 +====== House Rules ======
 +===== Additional Story =====
 +  * **Going to a new World** \\ I saw the folk at Guerilla Games doing a youtube video for a Stargrave campaign and adding story from the 40k Rogue Trader book.  I also have this book - so we might use its tables as well to give additional story ideas.  Additionally someone had put the tables I need into a PDF on Scribd.  {{ :games:wargame:200242810-warhammer-40-000-plot-generator.pdf |Plot Generator PDF}}
 +  * **On Planet Activities** \\ The author was inspired by Traveller, so may incorporate some of that
 +===== Space Battles =====
 +  * There's no mechanics in **Five Parsecs** for space battles, but it's a trope of the genre, so as it's also d6 based with simple rolls - I might incorporate [[..:board:battlestations:start]]  into the game somewhere.
