Okay, so first off, I guess this is the best place to put this, but if one of the Fly Lords wants to move it to the BFG forum, it's fine by me.
Second off, it was suggested in the Badab thoughts thread that perhaps, with over half of the Badab War taking place in space, during the Shipping Wars, there should have been some BFG scenarios in the book. It was further suggested that perhaps we, the BFG playing BoLS readers, should come up with these scenarios for presentation to the Fly Lords, and so here I am, attempting to orchestrate this project.
So, looking at the map in the (very well done) Badab war book, and taking into acount blockades mentioned in the (excellent) History of the Badab War section, I count the following major naval engagements, in rough chronological order:
1. Destruction of Inquisitor Stauff's Investigative Fleet
2. The First Punitive Expidition
3. The Second Punitive Expidition
4. The Opening Raids
4a. Unnamed Fleet Action Near Verakruz
4b. Unnamed Fleet Action Near Morgan's Reach
4c. Unnamed Fleet Action Near Zathatetus Grand
4d. The Raid on Tarturga IV (IN Cruiser squadron gets blasted 5 light years from dock, worth it's own scenario)
5. Heydon's Gambit
6. Von Strieb's Backhand
7. The Phantom Blockade
8. The Blockade of Tranquility
9. Battle of Null Point
10. The Siege of The Badab System (This may also become multiple scenarios)
11. The Battle of Butcher's Alley
I'd like to make sure that every scenario we come up with would be playtested by people other than their creators, just for fairness reasons.
Also, someone would need to arrange the above Scenarios into a Tree-based campaign, to keep with the system in the actual Badab Book. I would like to pass this responisibility off to someone else, as my expertice lies with more open ended map-based campaigns, not the more linear tree campaigns.
It would also be cool to come up with a few specialized ships for the book, using some of the ship creation and pricing algorithms floating around them (if no-one else has them, I can track them down.) Once those are in, I will arrange them and the standard Imperial ships into a custom Battlefleet Maelstrom fleet list, based most likely off of the Battlefleet Armeggeddon list, but with some subtle difference. I have a good bit of experience in this regard, having previously come up with a Horus Heresy based fleet list.
So, thats all I can think up at the moment. If anyone can see anything I've missed, feel free to let me know.
Anyone interested in taking on one of the above roles, please post below with which you would like to do.
