Another Brilliant Tourney/Campaign Idea

[kineas]

I mentioned the idea once on other site, I got no replies at all, which probably means it's crap. Nevertheless I attempt it again:

how about a multi-game tournament/campaign? There would be 2 opposing force, and the battles would be distributed across games. E.g. smaller scenarios : CMBB, larger scenarios: SPWAW, and many other wargames could be involved. Sea war, air war could be incorporated too.

Each battle would contribute to an overall goal, but the battles itself would be only loosely bound to each other.

It can be a possibility, just needs a tourneymaster :)

Draw up your rules, and recruit for it.

LOL... sounds a bloody nightmare to be honest but if you can facilitate it kineas then go for it.

[kineas]

The first recruit would be the tourneymaster himself...

Only one more rule: the contribution of the individual "fronts" would be directly proportional to the player hours put into them.

So one Steel Panthers PBEM would mean a lot more than a quick CM TCP match, or a dogfight in a flight sim.

Not now...maybe a couple of months later I give it a try.

[Copper]

So you the tourney master then??

[kineas]

...unless someone else wants that.

Sounds a scary undertaking!!

My head hurts just thinking about how this could be made to work properly

[kineas]

It need not to be very specific, just an abstract operational map (hexes, or regions), what you resolve into battles, preferably QBs with given conditions. (No air support now since the flightsim-front got a bad beat in last phase).

The key is to get a feeling of contribution to an overall goal.

It boils down to the rules (I have to confess I didn't think much about them). The organization itself should be a lot easier than in a full fledged
meta campaign.
