Turning Points

Turning Points are various series of PDF-exclusive scenario books based on the Chaos Campaign and Warchest systems. Contents typically include an overview of the conflict, maps and history of the planet(s) in question, commander and unit profiles, tracks/scenarios, suitable Random Assignment Tables, and record sheets.

The concept was first used for the Jihad Turning Points series as the Jihad era timeline unfolded, and covers pivotal military campaigns that were fought over key planets during the Jihad. The format proved so successful that the scope was expanded to Dark Age and Historical Turning Points, covering similar campaigns in other eras than the Jihad, and Operational Turning Points, where the focus is not on a single world but on single notable military operations from various eras that took place across several worlds.

Except for the Operational Turning Points, the Turning Points are named for the world on which they take place.
