Escalation campaign? And possible new 40K campaign for the summer

[scoundrel13]

OK, here we go. I wrote up a beta version for the rules of the campaign. I will add more as I think of it and/ or receive feedback.

Each player would keep money, bought upgrades (represented by small laminated sections of paper) and army lists in a LEAGUE PACK, which they could take home and bring in for games. I would keep track of bought upgrades, lists and league positions on a central database on my laptop.

Bit rough around the edges, but let me have your feedback! "Maroon Vale" as a name might change, when I think of something better. It's a play on "Red Ditch".
