As we discussed during Tuesday's game, I don't think a Necromunda style campaign system is quite what we need for the Space Crusade campaign.

The original game is about squads of troops carrying out dangerous missions on board Space Hulks and being rewarded for the degree they succeed at the given mission (if anyone comes back).

My idea is to use the original point-score system, but rather than rewarding honor badges ect at the end of each mission, allow players to 'spend' their points on additional troops and equipment (reflecting the idea of their superiors rewarding them for their performance in the field of battle)

Casualties will not be automatically replaced between games and points will need to be spent to replace them. In the case of
100% fatalities or the death of a leader the player will start again with a new squad.

Initial thoughts on the prices (based on the 5-man-squad based games we've been playing recently)

Bolter Marine 50 points
Heavy Weapon Marine 60 points
Equipment Card 30 points
Order Card 25 points

of course we'll need to work out the costs for the other playable troop types and races too

talking of which ...

Proposed playable armies/races  

~ SpaceMarines (regular) - the 3 chapters from the game box, plus Dark Angles, SpaceWolves and any other chapters
people want to play, different equipment available to each chapter  
~ SpaceMarine Terminators - all chapters as above
~ SpaceMarine Scouts  - all chapters as above

~ Legion of the Damned SpaceMarines - same as regular marines, but do not deploy from docking claw and different equipment and order cards, maybe some kind of special abilities for order cards too

~ Chaos SpaceMarines (as currently House-ruled)

~ Eldar

~ Orkz

~ Sisters of Battle - working in a similar way to regular marines, different order cards and equipment

~ Tau (need play-testing)

~ Squats (maybe)

~ Grey Knight Terminators (maybe)
