Campaign System

[Easymeat]

As far as maps go, if a custom map was not made for a campaign what could be done is catalogue a load of user made maps. So for example a hex on the operational map has a bridge. What could be done is find a few maps with a bridge which roughly represents what is in the hex. Give all the maps a key so that the computer knows which map to use for a particular hex. So if the operational map has 500 hexes, find maps that already exist, and rate them for the computer to use.

So what would happen would be: two units meet on the operational map, the computer sends the battle parameters to CM, date, weather etc, the oobs are sent to CM, and finally the map is chosen. The resulting file is sent to one of the players to set up. You could even set the password for the first player before sending the file.

If the work is split between a few players it should not take long to find and rate the maps. It is either this or generate random maps, alter existing maps or make custom maps. The ideal is a custom map.
