Path to Glory Campaign

Arcane Journal: The Razing of Westerland

Rulebook

Whilst regiments can gain experience and become seasoned veterans, so too can the mighty warriors and cunning mages that command them. As with units, this is represented by Experience Points (XP) which characters gain during the course of a Warhammer: the Old World Path to Glory campaign. Any character that was not removed from play as a casualty and is not fleeing at the end of the game earns: 1XP for surviving the game. 1XP per enemy character slain, per trophy of war captured or enemy unit destroyed during the game (by the character or a unit they had joined). In addition, an army's General earns 1XP if their army won the game. A character may spend their XP after any game by rolling on the table below and adding their current XP to the result. Once a character has rolled on the table, they are reduced to 0XP: Seasoned Commander Table D6 Result 2-6 Prideful Braggart: Filled with pride and arrogance, the character does not gain a Veteran Ability, but neither are they reduced to OXP. 7-11 Grizzled Veteran: The character permanently improves their Leadership characteristic by 1 (to a maximum of 10). 12-14 Weapon Master: The character permanently improves either its Weapon Skill or Ballistic Skill characteristic by 1 (chosen by the controlling player, to a maximum of 10). 15+ The Spoils of War: The character permanently improves the Armour Piercing characteristic of one of their weapons by 1 (chosen by the controlling player, to a maximum of -5. 

Seasoned Commanders

Linking games through a story, map or some other method is considered the ideal way to enjoy Warhammer: the Old World by many players. In such campaigns, each individual game represents but one battle fought in an ongoing war and there are plenty of excuses to enjoy challenging and varied games. Many stories of the Warhammer world are told through campaign books, supplements and other publications which present exciting tales of epic deeds. Such publications present rules for recreating famous battles of history, translating them from the page to the tabletop. Often, campaigns are about conquering lands, with each player controlling multiple armies of the same faction, located in different regions. Each rival faction attempts to build its own dominion, increasing the size and strength of its armies and holdings. Such campaigns quickly turn bloody, as armies march forth to invade the lands of their neighbours. As victorious armies seize land, the defeated forces must retreat, regroup and rebuild their strength. This adds new strategic and tactical challenges as a player attempts to outmanoeuvre and outmatch their foes on the campaign map as well as the battlefield. Campaigns can be complex, involving many battles over many months and including rules for lines of supply, sieges, allies and spies, perhaps even random events such as plagues or rampaging monsters. Alternatively, a campaign can be quite a simple affair, with only a few parameters influencing the scenarios used in a small number of linked games.
