A New Mega Campaign is Coming

Post by Wild Bill »

I've been reading carefully over the last months the interest of so many for the brilliantly done program by Michael Wood of Steel Panthers World at War Mega Campaign.

Some of you may be aware that I was the principal coordinator for Mega Campaign Desert Fox - 41 and Mega Campaign Watchtower - 42.

The development of a Mega Campaign is the hardest thing I have ever done in my gaming career. It is very time consuming, sometimes frustrating and can be a pain in the buttocks. You want to add an "Amen" here, Brent and all team captains? ;)

The end result, however, is something wondrous to behold: a veritable encyclopedia of history, photos, articles and some great scenarios. It has immense replay value.

I want another Mega Campaign. I approached David Heath a few weeks ago and after some discussion, we have decided to do one.

At this point I cannot divulge the theme. I will say, however, that it may catch you by surprise and I believe you will be happy with the choice.

The approach to this Mega Campaign will be a little different. I've learned a lot from the first two I did (with the help of some great folks...a joint effort!).

Hopefully, this one will offer you two completely different threads of progress, so that you can play it at least twice without ever replaying a single scenario.

Pictures, articles and some hard and unique fights await you. It is a combination of both history and what if situations.

I may not be able to answer a lot or write a lot in the next few months. I'm sure you will understand.

What do you think? Want it?

Why not? I don't think anyone is going to steal your idea. I think it would be fun for the fans to watch the development. It will also keep us entertained while we have to wait "forever" for it to get finished. Waiting is painful.;)

If the MC crew is making it, I'm happy about the choice already! the SP:WaW MC crew rules! (If I can be of any help, please let me know. I would be honored to be able to assist the MC developers in any way. I'll even come over and wash your car!):D

As the Centurion said in the Bible, "I too am a man under authority..." Sorry. Wish I could.
