Premise
Ever wish your Battlefield rounds had an overarching purpose, a grand scheme if you will. Like the conquest aspects of games like Total War, Risk, or Civilization? This aims to bring a little of that to the Battlefield universe. Each campaign we?ll introduce you to a map where you?ll fight rounds of Battlefield for your faction to gain supremacy over your opponent. All while hopefully providing a non-stressful fun way to experience true teamwork in Battlefield.​
Definitions
War Admin: Two individuals, (should be at least an EC*), who merely facilitate to ensure the Commanders don?t do shady things such as change a map on a territory after map placement. Mostly just referees and in charge of any behind the scenes things like keeping track of Resource Points.
*Exception: In the event of the enemy army consisting entirely of another clan, one of them may be a War Admin to facilitate mutual trust between the clans.
Head Commander: De facto leader of an army. He coordinates with the War Admins to carry out his attacks. Has final say in all matters of his personal army?s structure is up to him including army strategy and tactics.​
Pre-Campaign

The pre-campaign is carried out in several steps. The Head Commanders and War Admins will meet at least two days prior to the start of a campaign and discuss the first two steps. Step 3 needing to be done at least 24 hours before the first day of the campaign.

1. Territory Selection
2. Map Selection
3. Map Placement

Territory Selection

During the territory selection, the two commanders will take turns picking territories off the map. The side that goes first will be decided initially by a coin flip. This continues until all territories are chosen.

Map Selection

After territories are chosen the two commanders will take turns picking maps from a map list. The number of maps chosen will correspond with the number of territories. The side who picked second during Territory Selection picks first.

Map Placement

Map placement is done privately by the head commanders. They?ll assign their list of maps to their respective territories and submit it to the War Admins 24 hours prior to the first day.​
Days of War
This will outline the meat and potatoes of the Campaign. It?s a pretty straight forward sequence.

0. Initiation of Hostilities
1. Attack Phase
2. Attack Rights Transfer

Initiation of Hostilities

The first thing on the first day of a campaign is a battle that will determine who has initial initiative. The two armies will fight two rounds on a Rush map determined by the War Admins. The side that gets the most MCOMs will be declared the side with starting initiative. In the result of a tie the winner is determined by the defender of the quickest round. Unless all MCOMs were destroyed in which case the quickest attacking team wins.

Attack Phase


The side with initiative will inform the War Admins of the territory they wish to attack.

After which the Defending side will choose the side they wish to defend from. Territory Attacks will be played out in a best two out of three fashion. The defender does not have to stick with their chosen side. For example, if they find that the RU side didn?t work out for them they are allowed to attempt to fight the next round from the US side.

If the attacking side wins the two out of the three, the territory will fall under their control. After which they are allowed to declare another territory to be attacked.

Attack Rights Transfer

In the event that the defending team holds off the attacking team and wins two out of three in a territory, initiative then transfers to the defending team and it becomes their Attack Phase.​

Victory Conditions
When a side claims at least 80% of the map?s territories, they will be considered near victory. The defending team will then have to halt the attacking teams advance by successfully defending a territory before they are completely wiped out. After taking attack initiative, in order to prevent the enemy from being declared the winner, they will then have to successfully retake enough territories to reduce the enemy to less than 80% without losing initiative.

Once a side, has held 80% of the territories while on the defense or the other side is destroyed that side will be declared victorious.​
Special Resources
In an attempt to balance the playing field a bit in case one army turns out to be quite overpowering, special items can be acquired via points gained from losses. For every round lost while on the defense the defending team is given one point. This point can later be used to purchase an item from the following list:

Aerial Insertion (3 points)
You equip a division with parachutes. You can launch one attack behind enemy line, allowing you to skip one enemy territory.

Reinforcements (3 points)
You receive extra reinforcements from HQ for the upcoming battle. The enemy needs to win 3 rounds, rather than the traditional 2 on a chosen map. This can be used at the end of a map to extend it one round.

Covert Assault (4 points)
You purchase radar jamming equipment, managing to fool the enemy and catch them off guard. You may choose the side to start on instead of the defenders for a chosen map.

Tactical Strike (5 points)
You order a tactical strike by your parent company, killing all enemy on one territory. You may turn one territory, unless the enemy only holds one territory.​

Kind of yes. I tried to make it as different as one can make it. I had this idea before I joined GC. GC just merely motivated me to actually work out the details.
 
We will be looking to invite other clans into this as well to give us as much as traction as possible. The more the people the better this event will be.
 
Why dont we just ask the TA's of GC if they would allow a third team run by us in the next campaign? (and by us i mean wild and the ppl doing the leadership crap on this thingy)

First, the nature of the campaign itself makes a third team hard to incorporate which is why this has become more a mixed clan event rather than just each clan their own army. (Trust me, Ive thought long and hard about it. Unless someone else can think of how it can be done and gives me a detailed write up on how we could accomplish it. Although if someone does that thats just another way we can set ourselves apart from GC by being able to have large scale total wars between multiple factions.)

Second, I'm not necessarily trying to do what GC is doing. This first campaign is to iron out any potential wrinkles as I'm not going for the large scale 32 v 32 battles GC has. Nor are we going for a 6 hour battleday. As even though we(me, you, sin and killer) can do it I don't expect everyone can pull that long of a day off.

Basically, what I envision this as in the end is a smaller scale 16 v 16, weekly event. one to two hours long. The mixed clan format will allow us to basically have fun in a friendly environment with these people we interact with a non-competitive(in the sense its not a league like our upcoming eGO league) atmosphere. What it also could do is draw in more recruits for eGO, which piggybacking off GC would not do. Heck ultimately I would like as we try things out and see what works and doesn't, be able to create something that while it has the campaign aspect of GC is it's own unique thing that we here at eGO can call for the most part uniquely are own.

Future campaigns may include special restrictions or scenarios. For instance Killer keeps mentioning maybe giving it a WW2 theme. Even Sin has brought up ideas like that. That's something I don't even think GC has done nor probably would because those types of scenarios would require restrictions that would be nearly impossible to regulate on a 32 v 32 scale.

In conclusion, yes GC is kind of the example I'm following but I want to take from that example and make it unique for us as eGO. I hope that makes sense.

P.S. I also personally know a few interested who for one reason or another don't want to play in GC but would love to play in an eGO sponsored one.

Idk what GC is, but it sounds awesome.
 
This will be a great event and will be a huge highlight for eGO, will try to rope in as many as people as possible.

Cthulu demands more sign ups.


I'm sorry, I tried to tell him they'll sign up when they feel like it but Cthulu would have none of that....
 
We only have 10 so far. The more people signed up the better this event will be.
 
I see you're already signed up so I guess you found the link :P. We'll be starting up the 8th but we should have teams assigned before then barring any complications.
