I've seen Corellian Conflict, and wow what cool ideas for Runewars...!

By pancakeonions, in Runewars Miniatures Game

In a recent FFG update, the Corellian Conflict designers note they draw inspiration from FFG's Hades campaign for Dust Warfare, which has a map of the city under conflict, with regions that provide bonuses and such to players who own them. CC looks fantastic in that it gives a great, overarching narrative with a reason to attack certain areas and lots of red herrings to throw the Empire off...

I love that FFG is starting to take these tabletop minis games, and turn them into a boardgame of sorts.

I really hope Runewars does great, and we eventually see a campaign expansion that shows the creativity of Hades and CC for longer, more epic wars.

If not I'm sure some BGGer will create a campaign system using the runewars board game.

I am super excited for Corellian Conflict - getting my group together to run through this campaign over the coming weeks. It's just a great way to get people motivated to play and the matches are so much more exciting when there's history behind each of the units and your decisions have a bigger impact than just the victory of this one game.

I love the emphasis on narrative building while the systems are powerful yet simple enough to not make it over-complicated. Scarring and fleet repair is just elegant and I think limiting ships to one upgrade early on is a nice touch.

I would LOVE a similar style campaign system for RuneWars.

You could even have special relic cards to fight over on the campaign map and upgrade slot 'upgrades'. For example when a unit gains veterency of a certain level they gain access to 'tier 2' upgrades which are slightly better versions of 'musician' and 'standard bearer' etc.

The box could even come with Standard Bearer mini's who have room on the banner to record unit/army accomplishments.

A custom 'build your own hero' point buy designer system (with a blank card and a mini with many arm, head, weapon choices) could be an awesome idea too.

I wouldn't mind seeing a CC expansion for the game. It's a good opportunity to also through in a few special terrain pieces too and you know FFG will need to do something for terrain in this game.

I dunno a lot about the CC expansion at all, cause i don't play SW Armada, but i could imagine an expansions set for the runewars miniatures game very well!

It would be so exciting to have a story driven campaign which unfolds a story within the runewars universe, were your wins or losses influences the story and the available mission to play with your miniatures. Also new special heroes for this possible campaign would be awesome to and specific/unique artefacts in form of upgrade cards for your army heroes/units fitting together with the story of this campaign would be epic!

... and an experience/levelling system for your units and heroes to, of course :)!
