Are We Ready for a REAL Grand Campaign?

Post by :FI:TacticalS! » Thu Jun 29, 2006 5:20 pm

Thinking about starting in the near future a true Grand Campaign experience in Friday's Historic Encounters. What are you talking about Tact? How about flying from the beginning of the war until the end? :shock:

At this point not sure what theatre - Eastern, Western or Pacific - and yet to fully figure this all out, but basically my initial thought is that we start a session for say 5 missions. During the session or at the beginning of the next the campaign would automatically advance to the next scenario, and then after 5 missions onto the next, and so forth as DCG can link its individual campaigns into such Grand ones. If there are a lot of campaigns to link maybe only @3 missions per scenario. I would establish basic parameters (tweaking a little along the way). A variety of planes/situations would be thrown our way.

So are you interested in such an adventure after Normandy 1941? BTW we would probably focus on this for a number of sessions. Given the variety I wouldn't likely offer missions from any other campaigns - I think. :-k

Way to go TacticalS!

Was good to see the turnout last week , in spite of a few problems with comms and readying up.

Think the idea for the Weds session a good one too, it would be good if other s could fly similar 4 man coops too. Think that would help wingman and flight tactics, then could all come together Saturdays for the big one.

Maybe youd even continue - Berlin air lift - Korea - Suez scenarios with 4.07 on the horizon?

I'm sure DCG will add campaigns shortly after the release of the addon. Sounds great to me mate!

I think its a great idea. It would be a lot of fun to have a grand campaign. Hopefully I will see you there. I was wondering if you know a date or anything that will sugest when it will run?

It sounds good to me. If it stays on par with your other campaign efforts it should be a blast.
