So, I just wanted to give an update on where things stand. I have a very rough draft of (most of) a rules packet that I distributed to some of the guys who said that they were interested in helping GM to get some feedback. We are still working on that stuff and so there is not really a date set to start yet, though I would like to start it sometime in mid June if we can get it going that soon.

What I do need/could use help on, is anyone with some map-making skills (either paper/computer, or really cool would be to actually create one using hex-tiles ala miniwargaming's maps for their new campaign) who could help create the maps for the campaign.

Overall, what I am hoping to shoot for is a 6 or 7 turn campaign. Each turn would last 3 weeks, and during that 3 weeks each player should get 2 games in. That would ideally give everyone a chance at 12-14 games over the course of this campaign. If some are travelling or for other reasons not able to get their game(s) in, then those who are more casually interested could drop in to fill those matches and get games. Also, some of those casual players could possibly be pulled in if people wanted to do something unique like a 2-on-2 type battle or something.

We haven't really discussed a cap on players, but right now I have 15 people who have confirmed interest to play as a full member of one of the factions, and 6 more who have expressed an interest in dropping in from time-to-time. The problem is that for purpose of match-ups it is hard to have an odd-number number of players, but right now we would have 3 even factions of 5 players so I suppose we could have one player per turn willing to get a third game in and/or a regular slot for one of the occasional/part-time players.

With that said, some have listed multiple armies they would like to play. Of those I have tried to talk to most of you, but this is where we stand with 3 even factions of 5 players.
