Yeah... We got a saying in the Swedish Army that is somewhat simular to the K.I.S.S.
And with 24 players... Hmmm...
Lets say that in order to join the "Campaign" you as a player need to bring another player with "the other army". And then we've got them skinnies...
But then again...
Got too many bugs? Let two bugs play one MI and give the MI more airsupport or something simular...
Too many MI? Heh... Well... I bet that one could work out something...
One could work out a campaign template, or even make Mongoose publish one that Andy and the rest have dedicated some sweat and blood in... I'd buy it! I'd even sign in to the MI corps and run campaigns here if they made it!
The campaign type is better IMHO than ordinary swiss type tournaments... As the GM or Judge you have a good controll and can manuvre to make everybody happy... It's for fun anyways and the medal system makes some intresting reward system as losses, if made right (without bitching and such) doesn't spoil you in terms of rewards...
Sure... The platoon commander and Brain Bug who respectivly accompliched their given missions and maybe even did stuff beyond their missions will get a service medal, maybe a medal for extraordinary action in furthering the general cause of the campaign too? A Purpule heart for one who took his losses as a man. A Medal of Honour for best Sportsman?
I bet you get my point...
Sure, this might end up costing quite some $$$, but... Well... It's an idea...
