Are there any proposals for a grand campaign?

What about the possibility of a dynamic linked campaign?

+1 That's a deal breaker for me. Fingers crossed one becomes available in the future.

You have been using OAW 4 for this and I was starting the same but liked the scale of this game so was hoping... Love you AAR btw.

Hello Searry
I'm sorry you are disappointed but Desert War is very much operational in scope rather than strategic - with each turn being 6-8 hours of 'real time' a rand campaign would be something of an epic undertaking
As someone who (many years ago) bought the SPI monster 'Campaign for North Africa' even I would quail at that

I beg to differ : there are people - a lott of them - playing WITPAE campaigns with others for year(s) - the exact same campaign for pacific war all 4 years ' day by day by day ...24 hours a turn. This makes around 1000 turns.
Please put a campaign into the game it will make a lot of diffrence to the customers.
Trust us your customers.

Has anyone ever tried to do a PC version of the old SPI Game 'Campaign for North Africa'? If there was ever something crying out for computerisation, it was that one.
'War in the Pacific' has been successfully done by Matrix, so why not this game?

I second that...Without a campaign this game will be an also-ran. I dont think it will take much thinking why we need that.

If not a day-by-day campaign, perhaps the current scenarios could be linked? Allow some administrative tasks in between (like the "camp" in Ultimate General: Civil War) so that you can reorganize/equip/train your army.

Yes, it'd be nice to have the campaign, or the entire day by day war from the initial Italian attack in 1940 until the fall of Tunisia nearly 3 years later, but that'd mean game released in 2019 or 2020 (as I only do this spare time).
I suppose this is more "Panzer Campaigns" than WITE.
I'd like to do it of course. One day perhaps.

This looks like it will be a great game, I'm sorry to hear there won't be a grand campaign. I understand the reasons, but still...

I'm also sorry that there is no campaign game. I may still buy it but it weighs on my decision.
Off topic, did people see that Sheldon Cooper set up and was playing Campaign for North Africa in a recent episode of Big Bang Theory?

I'm not sure how the game engine could deal with such a large campaign .

Lots of long scenarios here though, not sure no full length campaign with this game need be a deal breaker.
