Remember, I wrote :

>be great but I'm not really happy with this kind of rules.
>In fact, I like to know the exact background of each battle I play
>and I think that special scenarios (scenari or scenarii? I was not
>really good in Latin) are a more interesting than simple battles.

>to.
>So this is how I make my campaigns :
> 1- I think about a general background. For exemple, an Eldar
>Craftworld invade an imperial colony to protect some of its oldest
>artefacts that have been discovered by the human settlers...
> 2- I think about all the battles. Each battle is a major
>event of the campaign. For exemple : the first meating of the two
>armies, the siege of the Eldar temples (where the artefacts are
>hidden), etc...
> A victory in a battle will give some advantages : advantage

>final victory will be closer) or only symbolic advantage (I won and
>not you! Na Na Na!).
> 3- I think about the final battle : this must be a very big

>artefacts...).
> Pour la petite histoire, my Iron Wolves destroyed the Eldar
>forces of the Alcarinque Craftworld in 3 turns, few eldars were able
>to return to their home...

To illustrate this, I've translated into English my Tallarn Campaign
rules, you can read it at the Lord's Home Page (English version and
French version available).
