Tonight: played Warhammer Kill Team for the first time. It seems fun! I'm still a D&D person, but I can see Kill Team being a laugh too if what you want is combat and minmaxing :)
@sil Loyalist issues with local towns? Go find out their problems and help them with them. Heist missions to steal the enemy armies paychests so all their mercenaries leave and their national troops take moral penalties, etc.
@sil I think it might be fun to mix a wargame and RPG campaign like they did in the Braunstine and early D&D days. Use something like kill team to determine who has an edge in the battles, or run roleplay sessions to try and get neutral factions to join your side which would make their units available.
