2 vs. 1 rules.
Unfourtunately, there aren't rules for this officially. And there should be.
I have two mastersets, one sotm, one castle, one lava, and one tundra. I don't feel like making a new map for three players. (I can't play on anything non-symmetrical, even if it's off by only one hex.) For example, lets say each team gets 1000 points. Player 1 gets 1000 points, and player 2 and 3 each get 500 points (You cannot donate points to the other team becuase then one player gets more points and one person gets left out.) Player one gets 2 sets of order markers. It's easier if you have a set of green order markers and a set of grey (or gray) order markers. Players 2 and 3 get to look at each other's order markers. When we tried this out we didn't use initative becuase we'd all forget whose turn was whose. The turn order went: Player 2, Player 1 Green Turn (With green order markers), Player 3, Player 1 Grey (or gray) Turn. (With the other set of order markers.) Is there any problems with this? Suggestions? |

Player 1 would have the advantage of ordering any one unit up to six times or concentrating order markers on only a few units. You could make four 500 point armies and have player 1 play two of them. No mixing order markers between player 1's two armies.
Kumiko is not impressed with your sculpt, either.

The player by himself should have more points than the two-player team combined. That's what he gets for only getting one turn to their two.

Player one has to control two seperate armies of 500 points as if he were two people. Everything else stays the same. Even rolling for initiative.

Of course, the scenario/map can make a big difference. You could give the player by himself an avantageous position: being inside a tall castle, having to defend a position, etc.
If you're talking about a fair match on a symetrical map, we've tried many possibilities and adopted theses two: Two set of Order Marker and same total: 2x500 points Vs 1000 points with two seperate sets of Order Markers (grey and green), no more than 4 Markers of the same color on a Card. One set of Order Markers: 2x500 points Vs 1500 points. The rule of thumb here is to give the player by himself 3x the base points of one player.

One of the best scenarios we did was have player 1 with 2 - 750 point armies and players 2-3 with 1 - 1250 point army. It was a defensive battle for player 1 and he was given 4 bridge walls and 110 hexes to build up a defence in his end to how he saw fit. We played it 3 times with each of us taking a turn being the defender. Hehe I was part of the winning team every game.... my finest game was when I was the defender and decided to draft Kelda/krav maga agents/Hulk/Braxas in one army and Stingers/Hive/Venom/Raelin/Syvarris in the other. Each army had a mobile strike force that could move with ease in and out of the defensive position (Hulk, Braxas, and Venom) and some defenders to hold the fort (Krav Maga,Stingers, and Syvarris). Braxas did little for me even after healing him from near death, maybe killing 40-50 points of stuff. Venom killed at the least his point cost and proved to be slippery... and Hulk was simply devestating. I was able to heal him from near death twice and he ended up killing off 2 squads, Marcus D G, Both Raelin's (one in each army), Kelda, Mimring, And DW 9000 was 1 punched by a raging Hulk.... not to mention that his advance along with Venom's actually forced both my opponents to advance their front lines back towards their starting position. In the end after the smoke had cleared their tattered, leaderless armies advanced once again. The defenders destroyed them with ease. I still had around 750 points worth of stuff at game end. Lol anyways the point is that with 3 players simply have 4 armies with one player controlling 2 of them. Also I have a new respect for Hulk whom I figured was overpriced... if used properly he is devestating and is always feared by your opponents. Who knows he might even make good bait |

Re: 2 vs. 1 rules.
Why did I get bad rep for this post? I know it is old but why start a new one on the same subject?
