By mid-1107, everyone expected war; it was just that no one knew exactly when it would come.
The war began with a Zhodani declaration of war, delivered to the lmperial government at Regina and Jewell simultaneously.
The very fact that the Zhodani knew the war was beginning, and the Imperials did not, gave them a great advantage.
They were prepared, and struck even as the declarations were being delivered.
The Imperial responses during the opening weeks of the war were confined to reactions.
Great ideaI really like these TAS-style reports... You might want to continue these after the 5 Frontier War is released,
to provide ongoing flavor to the campaign.(you don't have to report game-altering events.(unless you really want to),
but flavoring news items, like missing ships from convoys..destroyer losses, public admonitions that "Loose Lips
Blow Up Ships.. don't blab about convoy movements"...etc..) . Also, what would be really cool is reports from the other side too
as Zhoi, Sword Worlder, and Vargr Public Affairs officers at the Outworld Coalition Joint HQ give press briefings.
Let them rant about Impie atrocities and perfidy.
Just a suggestion keep the flavor going to add interest to the campaign
Chumbly
Well, as 'front and center' as you can with 4 guys flying the target drone that is a Type S or a Type A2...We will be putting Travellers front and centre in the FFW...
In the original outline of the FFW campaigns, we had the Travellers getting involved in a dodgy arms deal that ended up with weapons going to the wrong people, and being the incident that kicked off the entire war.Well, as 'front and center' as you can with 4 guys flying the target drone that is a Type S or a Type A2...![]()
Yes, but Fulacin and some Zhodani spies figure into Whispers of the Abyss, so parts are retained.hasn't the new Ancients campaign (which I can't afford...) retconned away that Twilight's Peak's finale on Fulacin?
Except the official history of the FFW as told by GDW has Norris going off to find a warrant on a lost cruiser, nothing to do with PCs or the Kinunir.Well in CT Travellers got to be decisive actors in the FFW in two ways: by finding that blank imperial warrant on the Kinunir and giving it to Duke Norris who used it to replace idiot Lord Santanocheev as sector admiral and by zapping that secret Zhodani base on Fulacin.
Why does Norris need a warrant anyway? Why couldn't he activate an agent wafer 9as described in Agent of the Imperium)?Always found the Imperial Warrant story ridiculous so less said about that the better - but hasn't the new Ancients campaign (which I can't afford...) retconned away that Twilight's Peak's finale on Fulacin?
