My friend and I are about to embark on a 6mm ECW project for the next two years in 6mm, and I can see this getting a lot of legs with us. I had a look back at your entry on the Chattanooga Campaign - WoW, very inspiring. I would really like to know more about how the mechanics of the campaign system worked, and this published Paul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-10708916366339239402015-09-04T03:45:24.074+01:002015-09-04T03:45:24.074+01:00Although the scale is a bit tiny for me, interesti...Although the scale is a bit tiny for me, interesting campaign non the less.

I love the way that the campaign seems to be the frame for the roleplaying and the politics, as well as some military action. Great stuff!<br /><br />I also have some news, in that your 2mm antics have inspired me to take the plunge myself.

Hey ho.<br /><br />I had thought of doing a worldwide ACW campaign through the blogosphere, perhaps with email moves worked out on a master map over a few months?<br /><br />Aha, nothing gets past you!

There's always a trade off between accessibility and detail, but with all these supercampaigns we like to some smaller games which don't always get posted up here.
