So, with the escalation league running down there has been talk of what kind of league or whatever we want to run next. I mentioned the idea of doing a map campaign and there seemed to be a lot of interested replies. I can say that when I personally first got into the game back in the mid to late 90s it was through a great shop back in Houston where they ran an amazing map campaign, and we had a blast with it. Obviously no one starts a game hoping to lose, but I also hope this might give a chance and a reason to run some more varied/fun/fluffy/alternate lists and just have some fun with our hobby.
I'm not promising to run it, or at least to run all of it on my own, but I wanted to see how many people are not only interested but are both willing and able to commit to take part in this on an ongoing basis. I like what Miniwargaming is doing right now where they are doing a narrative campaign, but other players not a part of the actual campaign can come in and get a pick up game and fight for one of the factions. I'm not sure yet how to incorporate that, but I think it would be awesome to be able to do that so that those not able to commit to the campaign can still have some fun with it.
So, I have vacation today and Monday so I'm just browsing some different campaign rules packets I'm finding on line, and I was wondering what level of interest there actually is in doing something like this. Again this is no promise to run or start anything, but just trying to see if there is enough interest to expend the energy trying to get it off the ground. Please respond to the poll above about the level of interest you have in taking part. The basic options:
1. You are willing to help run it
2. You are both willing and able to take part as one of the main forces, and to keep up with the turns (I'm figuring we might need to run it a little slow due to some people's schedule, maybe 3 weeks per turn/phase hopefully - depending on the rules packet of course)
3. You would like to play some games/drop in, but know that you can't commit to actually keep up with things
4. Campaign? Narrative? I just want more d*ck punching competitive/tourney play!
