A few of my Cabal mates and I have been talking about this idea I had about having a game mode that is an “actual” warzone. Basically, think of it like you’re playing down at ground level in a Dawn of War map. I was thinking this could maybe be a Cabal Operation sort of thing. It just pops up at the beginning of the week like the Cabal Missions do now and your Cabal has the week to finish it before the reset. It would be great if it was just a drop-in multiplayer where you don’t have to actually group up to see each other in there. It’s just your Cabals instance of this war and players can go in and out as they please.

The general idea is pretty simple if you've played any RTS so I’m not going to go crazy with details so...

It starts out with you in a drop zone. You have to clear out the surrounding area in order to establish a base of operations. When the area is secure, a headquarters pops up. You then head out and capture resource points that will go towards funding other buildings and upgrades. Enemies also drop resources that go towards other stuff like consumables you can get at the HQ (artillery strikes, turrets, etc.)

The other buildings are obvious (barracks, machinery, etc.). The barracks would just automatically spawn imperial guard troops similar to how the siege missions do it. Base defenses are prioritized/repopulated ahead of troops venturing out to fight. Eventually through upgrades, it will start spawning Stormwatcher Space Marines. The machinery will spit out walkers, tanks, dreadnoughts, etc. If your base is fully populated as far as defense, any units spawned beyond that amount go out to fight. 

Eventually you work your way up to the enemy base and have to destroy it. Maybe have a boss fight in there or something.

It should be a large map. Ideally you would want this thing to take 5-7 days to complete. Maybe it’s a large war map broken up into smaller, but still sizable, sectors you have to capture in order to progress to the final area that would have the enemy base.
