Mordheim ranking

It is quite interesting to see that there are many amongst us who own/ play a Mordheim Skaven warband, though that there's only a small (as in: almost dissapearing) group of members talking about it. A similar thing happens with Blood Bowl here and in order to boost the interest and discussion there, I've kicked off a Blood Bowl ranking to have people talk more about the battles they play.

I thought something similar could perhaps be done with Mordheim as well...

Now I know that Mordheim isn't a system that can be used in leagues/ rankings (unless you want to compare your amount of models, your injuries of your warband rating), but that's why we're a forum: To discuss about those things... So, does the idea appeal to anyone and what are everyone's opinions about it?

I would appreciate some action in the Mordheim chambers.
But even more desirable would be finding some that wanted to play <_<
My little warband ( http://underempire.net/index.php?showtopic=18761&hl= )never got the action they deserved.

*wipes a tear from his face*... FINALLY, someone who understands. :wub:

Nah, don't worry, I'm not going mental (yet). Still, seeing how you do agree that some more discussion(s) in the Mordheim forum would be a definite improvement, any ideas on how this can be achieved... Or how some more Mordheim action in general can be achieved?

I was thinking, the eshin rpgs essentially run on Mordheim rules, albeit a modified rpg-ed version. Using the same graphical table-top format as the rpgs, we might be able to run real mordheim games on the UE itself between members, and everyone else can watch too. It's a bit unwieldy and will take some time to get through each turn, but we just might be able to have a demonstration game in the forum for those who can't get to play in real life, and any interested folk can also get to watch how mordheim is played.

That would be interesting... although unwieldy, as you said. :P I would be willing to try that... though distance-measuring would be... interesting. :ph43r:

A Mordheim ranking sounds cool though... :lol: I actually predicted that this would happen, and was thinking about ways it could work... my only idea was that each participant kept a running record sheet (here on the UE) of their warband's members, treasury, and battle results, and it could somehow all be factored into a ranking something... :P

Just my __ tokens' worth.

@scrivener:
You're talking about a grid to work from then? :huh: Something like the COTEC AoD?

@Morkskittar:
*nods*... Yeah, that was eventually something along the lines of what I was thinking about. Updating the warband sheets wouldn't be too much of a hassle, but the main problem is eventually the ranking itself. I still think that a win/ draw/ loss ratio with the warband rating added to it is the 'easiest' way of creating a ranking for the Mordheim players.

I'm not sure what the COTEC AOD grid system is... is it like a chess set, where someone says "move black skaven to J24, shoot at beastman at M31"?

Perhaps someone can poke brownmccoy for some information? Seeing how he was the head honcho on that matter?
