Campaign map for Fall In Baltic Crusade: Event in the PEL: S: 215 1240AD Baltic Crusades – The Last Pagan Frontier (Triumph! Campaign) – Theme Saturday, 6:00:00 PM, 5 hrs, 12 Players GM: Brian Peruski Sponsor: Thistle & Rose Miniature line, Period: Medieval, Scale: 15mm, Rules: TRIUMPH! fast play ancient and medieval battles Vicious raid and counter-raid. Fighting in the middle of winter, when bitter cold freezes the swamps and marshes and makes roads of the rivers. Conquest by fire and sword. Religious fanaticism veiling naked aggression as the Principalities of Poland and Russia fight against Pagans, Crusaders, Mongol Invasion and themselves all at once! Participants will take one of 12 available kingdoms and fight over a giant map of Northeastern Europe for ultimate domination. The rules are easy to learn and will be taught by the GM. The initial 12 armies are provided for the slots in the PEL these will be assigned at random. If you have an army for this period feel free to bring it and play with it as we can add another 12 players who bring their own armies! Sign up for one of the spots in the PEL or show up with your own army and jump in! Available army lists (if you want to bring your own) TMP link Triumph site wgcwar.com FB Discussion for Triumph link

That looks like a lot of fun!
David Smith	10 Oct 2016 10:20 a.m. PST
Are these rules available to purchase?
Dervel	10 Oct 2016 11:17 a.m. PST
David, Right now I believe the plan is to have them available by Fall In as a PDF download. Worst case before Cold Wars… The armies shown on my TMP posting are tweaked specifically for this campaign but are built from the 667 possible armies currently in the Triumph! army lists. Stosstruppen, It's a riot, the campaign mechanism is a great way to pair people up for one on one games while linking everything together in one bigger picture. We usually get in 3 to 4 rounds in a session. Players draw lots to see who gets to invade who, invaders that win turn their victims into vassals and try to build an empire. Grudges, revolts, backstabbing, and double dealing abound… Oh and cheesey comments and movie quotes of course.

What a hoot! Really looking forward to these, and maybe to replicate your campaign locally.

Does Triumph have anything similar to the rock-paper-scissors of DBA? Do Horse archers have ranged combat? (I sure hope so.)
Dave Schlanger	11 Oct 2016 6:29 a.m. PST
Horse Bow do not have ranged fire in the standard Triumph rules. But they do have a number of characteristics that make them very capable and are a lot of fun to play! DS

Are the campaign rules part of the Triumph rules or something else that you created? Thanks
Ben Avery	11 Oct 2016 3:22 p.m. PST
Agree with rampantlion. This is giving me an idea…
El Jocko	12 Oct 2016 8:03 a.m. PST
The campaign rules are largely independent of Triumph and could be adapted to be used with most rules. The current focus is on getting Triumph ready. Once that's done, publishing the campaign rules is one of our next priorities.
rampantlion	12 Oct 2016 9:38 a.m. PST
Ok, thanks for the info!
Mad Guru	12 Oct 2016 11:31 p.m. PST
Wow, I agree this looks like an awesome set of convention games, wish I could be there to participate, and hope to see lots of AARs!
mghFond	26 Jan 2017 11:44 p.m. PST
Hmmm, was there ever any AARs of this posted on TMP or for that matter on anyone's blogs?
Dervel	27 Jan 2017 1:59 p.m. PST
No real AAR here or specifically on that campaign. Too much of a pain in the tail to post pictures here and I was a little busy to take too many pictures. Triumph has a FB page where some pics are posted: link And a separate forum as well: forum.wgcwar.com The results of the Baltic Crusade campaign, we had 14 players for this event and a first time attendee to Fall In (actually any HMGS convention) won playing as one of the Mongol Factions Victory was achieved in a tumultuous and last minute Mongol on Mongol civil war which showed who was the Great Khan :)
