Before a Warhammer: the Old World Path to Glory campaign begins there are several decisions to be made, such as who amongst the participants will act as the campaign's 'Overseer, how long the campaign will last, and by how many points the participants armies will grow at each stage of the campaign.

The Overseer

A Warhammer: the Old World Path to Glory campaign requires one of the participants to take on the role of Overseer. It is the Overseer that takes responsibility for the organising of the campaign, keeping track of games played, points won and more.

Campaign Goals

The goal of the campaign is for the participants to collect and paint an army, most often of 2,000 or 2,500 points. Each participant begins with a 500 points army and adds to it during each campaign phase, increasing its size in 250 or 500 point increments.

Campaign Phases

Before the campaign begins, the Overseer must decide how many phases it will consist of. During each phase the participants play a number of games and, away from the battlefield, work towards collecting and painting the models needed to expand their army in preparation for the next phase.
As a general guide, campaign phases should last no less than two weeks but no more than six weeks.
