I mentioned this in the legion and armada sections and got some good feedback. Figured I might as well post the idea in this section as well to see if the folks here have any other ideas or feelings on the subject since it is based around x wing. just try to keep it civil.

I'm new to this game but have been eyeballing legion and armada (legion core box I bought just to try out came in mail yesterday). Has anyone done a combination campaign where you incorporate all 3 games. Large open battles in open areas with armada, dogfighting combats above planets, around moons and land battles actually on planets combining them into a broad campaign where results from one affected the others or holding different areas had different advantages and such?

I had mentioned scum in particular in the other areas because my main gaming buddy is playing them and I would not want him to turn have to switch when he doesnt want to or turn down the ideas because he couldnt really participate in the other game parts. IA stuff seems cool and could help to a degree with legion with house rules but would be left out of armada. I really like the idea of home brewing taking bounty hunters from imperials in legion to be scum leaders and mix/matching select units from both factions to make a scum one in legion.

Has anyone tried this sort of campaign before? ideas or tips? Ideas for ways to include all of the factions? Has anyone with FF worked on this sort of thing? Resources? I'm coming to this from 40k so have a broad overview and have played in it but do not have experience in developing it (D&D I can create and run worlds but thats a different situation.

I believe my group and fincances would be limited to just x wing and legion so really hoping for ideas on them.

Of course, ideas for all factions are appreciated.

Take a look at this thread. I think there are a couple of ideas similar to what you are talking about.

This thread is linked in the thread called “Index of Useful Links” (the original, not the newer 2.0 Index).

Why stop there? Why not use Rebellion for Grand Strategy, ans Imperial Assault Skirmishs for precison operations?

Joking aside, using just Legion and Armada probably makes more sense.

Well, money does play a part and we will likely just use x wing and legion. As it is, I'll most likely have to buy it all including the models.

Thinking due to finances and the scum limitation...maybe doing something where we as players are crime lords and mix and match whatever units we have. Possibly making our lists as to what we want to take from the selection and in cases where we both want the same thing and there arent enough... bidding or trading off. i know thats not true star war but we can play it off that its our guys using black market or stolen equipment with heroes that just happen to be a lot like the names ones. **ducks to avoid thrown rotten tomatoes because I'm already getting flamed somewhere else. lol*

After thought. If we were to include ourselves as character (putting the crime lords on the actual field... i dont like the idea of just using one of the named characters (although that might work with me using vader. busted up knees and he is slow, he wears black as do i... lol) Possibly make a generic baseline of rules and we buy weapons and abilities from a list in creation that is set after the first game.... unsure. I'll discuss this with my buddies.
