The Hiruscant Campaign - Errata

Errata and clarifications

Unit and battleforce changes are only allowed if the battleforce is not locked in a pending battle.

Battleforces may retreat to allies' nodes, without the target node changing ownership. The retreated battleforces owner may not spend points on anything except moving battleforces that are in allied territory, to either own or enemy territory (ie, the first thing to do is bring the battleforce back into a legal position).

If a node is attacked while an ally is in it, the allied force fights the attacker at -10% points to represent poor resupply and logistics support.
If a node is attacked while both owning and allied battleforces are in it, the owning battleforce (only) fights, and the allied battleforce shares its fate if it is forced to retreat.

Retraining costs 1 CP (changed from 5 CP).
Units that are described as Mindless (eg, Spore mines and Rippers) or are otherwise specifically described as unable to gain experience (eg, Gun Drones) do not gain XP, and may not choose to lose XP when failing a Ld check after modification. In such cases. the player must spend CP as described in the Campaign rules.

The initial Tau colony is an installation, on par with the Eldar Webway portals and the Ork Roks

Motivation: Space marines are a small elite force that can rapidly redeploy to the next crisis hotspot.

A space marine player may move a battleforce from orbit, warp or deep space to any deep space node on the map.
Space marine reinforcements costs 14 CP.
This rule does not apply to Witch Hunters or Daemon Hunters.

Motivation: Counting the number of command points spent actually landing the "cheap" reinforcements, it turns out that Space Marines are actually more "without number" than Tyranids...
Tyranids pay 7 CP for reinforcements, as other races.
Tyranids may create a Hive Node in any node where all neighboring nodes are Tyranid controlled. This costs 1 CP. A hive node counts as an installation.
Tyranids may place reinforcements in any Deep Space node, or any controlled Hive Node.

Motivation: I want to portray a force crumbling under the onslaught of innumerable aliens, holding out against hopeless odds.
Imperial Guards start with a battleforce in each City node on the map.
If an Imperial Guard battleforce is forced to retreat, roll a die; On a 1-3, the Battleforce is destroyed.

Motivation: Encourage players to make a battleforce that can handle a variety of missions and scenario sizes. It also encourages players to assemble and paint enough models to be able to field a 2000-point army.
For every 100 points difference between the randomly suggested mission and the mission actually played, the player(s) receiving victory points are penalized by -1 VP each, to a minimum of 1 VP.
If playing a mission different from the randomly suggested mission, the player(s) receiving victory points are penalized by an additional -2 VP each, to a minimum of 1 VP.

Standard Missions use the standard Force Organization Chart.
Special, Raid and Battle missions use the alternative FOCs as described in BGB p192.

I'll evaluate the VP rules after the campaign ends. Preliminary observations:
