Title: 'Bohemian Rhapsody': Our Unimaginatively-Titled Bohemia 1757 Campaign
Post by: Jemima Fawr on 14 May 2022, 10:40:59 PM

It's been 25 years since I last ran a campaign (not counting X-wing...), but I finally got off my backside and organised a SYW campaign for a couple of mates at the Carmarthen Old Guard.

The campaign is a heavily-modified version of the 'Bohemia Blitzkrieg' campaign from the 'Warfare in the Age of Reason' supplement, incorporating some ideas from Olicanalad's excellent blog and a lot of my own.  Here's the campaign outline:

And here's the AAR of the first battle: The Battle of Münchengrätz:

Looking good! The AoR campaign system is one I really like. Elegant simplicity.

As for the title, well at least you didn’t go with Bohemian Corporal. There’s still time to update to something a bit more groovy though. Conjuring the image of Brian May is never a good thing.

'Bohemian Like You' was my second choice...

But hey, don't diss the poodle-mopped God of Guitars and Deep-Space Background Radiation.  >:(

I always find it difficult to get a campaign going among the various groups I play with, any pointers to create interest?
