How about...

Points for win, loose or draw and depending on the scale of the battle more (or less) points are awarded eg...

A 'normal' sized battle between Brits and Chinese, the Brits have a marginal win giving them 5 points and the Chinese get 2.
A small skirmish game between Norwegians and Prussians, The Norwegians have a huge win and get 2 points with the Prussians not getting any.
And then large battle with various nations on each side, the baddies (  ;D ) have a resounding win getting 12 points and the goodies (  ;D ) not getting any...

So the forces of good get a total of 7 campaign points and the forces of evil getting 14.

Obviously the points values would have to be played around with and the scale of the games (or maybe leaving that to the groups involved) and at the end, tot 'em all up and watch the good guys bring it home  ;)

My two yens worth for now  ;)

I'd back something like that too.

It would be a lot of work for the moderators, however; I think we might be better off totting up scores as we go along.

If this is done with groups playing games in their 'zone', we should get a fairly good idea of how different forces are doing as we go along. But the principle of a 'big' win counting as say three small wins is basically sound I think.

I do think that every force that shows up should get a point though - even if you get beaten, it means you've been able (on behalf of your faction) to project your power into that area, if only minimally. That should count for something, I think.

I think thats a good idea  :)

Maybe extra points for a really good battle report (to represent a good field reporter/galloper returning to headquarters and giving the news)

Yes Jim, The overall moderator. For example Malamute :D would allocate some bonus points for a good write up and pictures.

Nothing like some bonus points to motivate factions  ;)

Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly
down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red
Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture,
torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.

Identical too by the look of him. I'll wager he plays VSF games too ;)

I really don't want anyone to think I'm nagging, honest, but is anyone doing anything about this?

I'm really up for helping to organise things things - if there's anything to organise.

I have had about half a dozen people express an interest in this idea. I guess we could go ahead with it anyway and hope that a "if you build it they will come" attitude will get this going.

Cheers
Fuzzy.

P.S. Game report coming soon :)

I'm happy enough building it in the expectation they'll come. It's what every mad inventor does when they want to lure a hero into their lab after all.

Does the 'half dozen' include me? And are the rest of them (fingers crossed) the representatives of clubs or other groups that play VSF? Or was it really just me and five other people PMing you to say 'yeah, I'd be up for that'?

I'd suggest what we need from everyone who wants to go ahead with this is info on whether they've got a regular group, and what sort of games they're planning on playing (skirmish, company level, naval combat, aeronefs or whatever).

I like the idea of giving groups a province that they're playing in; that will make organisation simpler I think. If there are only half a dozen interested parties, we may only have to invent 3 provinces ;)

I also think that those who are organising this (and as you know I'm up for helping to organise it) can work on the background that we'll need. Happy for my background to be used in part or in whole, or butchered and generally dismembered as appropriate.

As always, I'm here for help, suggestions, nagging, generally getting in the way, flogging a dead horse etc.

I`ll put my name down for organising the South-West London mob (and that will probably include the Shewsbury hoards  ;)  ;) )

I think we can get some regluar games in now of probably lots of different types  :D

cheers
