    Wrong fun...

    With the new edition of 40K, this idea has come up in a few places, namely that the dreaded 'someone else' (ie the Wrong Fun Police) can tell you how to have 'right fun', according to the rules.

    So what this Thread is about is all the times you and your mates have chucked the rules and made up some wacky 'Wrong Fun' games to play. Special scenarios, ignoring FOC limits, whatever...


    What is your favourite 'Wrong Fun'?
    If you love a Redhead, set Her free...if She follows you everywhere, pitches a tent in your front lawn and your new girlfriend disappears, you belong to Her, get used to it .

    What you say about other people, says far more about *you* than it does about *other people*.

    I shall be severely disappointed in Warseer if this thread does not become rife with innuendo.

    Re: Wrong fun...

    I'm playing a game with a mate tomorrow with his Orks vs my Grey Knights (Inquisition), in two linked battles (campaign style) with a twist - there is a Tyranid infestation, so there will be random units of nids wandering the battlefield and randomly controlled. The second battle will include handling for units that were killed in assault in the first game (or something like that), having a dice roll per turn and on a 1 the genestealer-tainted models reveal themselves and initiate an assault within the unit (so it attacks itself). Should make for a fun narrative-style game. And at the end of the two battles we are going to get into a game of Space Hulk to represent the final nid cleanup.

    I also have some zombie models from a few suppliers I plan to put together (at some point, along with most of my hobby ventures ) so that I can have a similar setup with groups of plague zombies with their own custom rules (random movement, feel no pain etc). All for the fun of it.

    Back in the dark days of 3rd ed 40k we had a three-way where there was a lightning claw armed terminator painted red and white as the central objective. He was called Santa Claws and whoever got into base to base with him got a 'surprise from his sack' Hilarity ensued.

    Re: Wrong fun...

    My buddies and I had a battle where units deplyed on random board edges on random turns. There were 6 players, with no one allied. The board was 6 by 8 and there was an objective in the center of one of the short table edges. If you had the objective at the end of the game, you won.

    Madness followed.

    Re: Wrong fun...

    I was talking with a guy from the South Peace SQUIGS gaming group some years back and they ran a tournament like this...


    Before deployment each gamer was handed an envelope with their mission for that game.

    Each envelope contained a different mission, so your mission (ie kill the enemy General) would likely be very different from your opponent's mission (ie secure three objectives).

    Next round, every gamer got a new envelope, thus a new mission.

    Rinse, repeat...

    By all accounts it made for a great tournament because you had to try to accomplish your mission while hiding your intent from your opponent...at the same time you were trying to discover your opponent's mission and stop them.

    Missions were revealed to opponents at the end of the game.
    If you love a Redhead, set Her free...if She follows you everywhere, pitches a tent in your front lawn and your new girlfriend disappears, you belong to Her, get used to it .

    Re: Wrong fun...

    We also played a game with 6 different objective markers scatterd around the 6 by 8 table. If you held an objective for a turn, you could reveal it. The player with the "true" pbjective at the end of the game won.

    Another fun one was one player (the defender) set-up 1 third of their army on one short table edge with 1 troops 1 HQ minimum. Their opponent placed their entire army in the middle. The defender then put the rest of their army in reserve on the opposite short table edge. The attacker needed to wipe out all the initially deployed force in 6 turns, while the defenders tired to stay alive and get reingforced from their reserves.

    Didn't they ran a scenario like that once in White Dwarf.
    I seem to recall a battle report with an Orc camp being attacked from both sides by an Empire force.
    Might have been at the release of the Orcs & Goblins armybook in 6th edition.

    Re: Wrong fun...

    We played a game of fantasy about two years ago where every wood, cave, rock and swamp was a squig nest...

    Whenever a unit moved within 6" of terrain, you rolled a dice. On a 4+, D6 squig hoppers (as far as rules went) appears and continued to move fanatic style for the rest of the game.

    42 squigs later...

    Re: Wrong fun...

    When my family play Zombies at Christmas we stick all the boards together, drink and cheat a lot! Combining to try and stop Mum winning again (3 years in a row now)!

    I don't think there's wrong fun in board games and stuff as long as everyone has fun
