Are there any proposals for a grand campaign?

Saint Ruth -> RE: Campaign? (12/14/2017 5:47:58 PM)
Not at the moment, sorry!

Christolos -> RE: Campaign? (12/15/2017 2:21:46 PM)
What about the possibility of a dynamic linked campaign? C

cgoddard -> RE: Campaign? (12/15/2017 2:28:05 PM)
Shame - would like to have done full campaign

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.

Searry -> RE: Campaign? (12/16/2017 5:16:09 PM)
BIG disappointment.

Benedict151 -> RE: Campaign? (12/18/2017 4:59:39 PM)
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 regards Ben Wilkins

oaltinyay -> RE: Campaign? (12/21/2017 11:38:20 AM)
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.

Franciscus -> RE: Campaign? (12/21/2017 3:15:19 PM)
+ 1 for a full campaign...

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.

FredSanford3 -> RE: Campaign? (2/17/2018 2:03:19 PM)
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.

Saint Ruth -> RE: Campaign? (2/18/2018 1:48:48 PM)
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. ;)

countrboy -> RE: Campaign? (2/23/2018 3:54:01 AM)
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...

Numdydar -> RE: Campaign? (3/6/2018 12:56:09 AM)
Sorry no campaign, no purchase for me either.

John B. -> RE: Campaign? (3/7/2018 3:40:52 PM)
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?

KarlXII -> RE: Campaign? (3/22/2018 5:42:10 PM)
Too bad there is no campaign. I will only buy this game on discount

wodin -> RE: Campaign? (3/22/2018 5:47:10 PM)
I'm not sure how the game engine could deal with such a large campaign .

wodin -> RE: Campaign? (3/22/2018 5:48:28 PM)
Lots of long scenarios here though, not sure no full length campaign with this game need be a deal breaker.

surfcandy -> RE: Campaign? (3/22/2018 7:00:21 PM)
I have been following this game and from what I see scenarios can be quite lengthy and there seems to be a nice number of them. I totally get wanting a Campaign, especially for $39. The nature of this genre is that the games are few and expensive especially so for the Deseret War during WW2 even boardgames don't over represent this war in any significant numbers. Again I totally agree a Campaign even a couple of short ones should have been included. That being said the game comes with a editor that I hope is powerful and intuitive allowing for some talented people to start creating scenarios.

harley9699 -> RE: Campaign? (3/22/2018 7:14:05 PM)
Well, crap. Didn't realize it was only scenarios without a campaign. I'm out. Will just wait for a sale in a year or two then. (unfortunate, as I own most of the catalog)

spinecruncher -> RE: Campaign? (3/22/2018 8:41:53 PM)
I just want to know if it has good gameplay, campaign, Steam aside. I would like to see some reviews online. I like the graphics. I noticed "Wego" Does this means it plays like Guns of August? I liked that.

Michael T -> RE: Campaign? (3/22/2018 9:19:11 PM)
I want a North African Campaign game too. But this is not the game for it. Wrong scale (time and unit). Hence my zero interest in it. Hopefully one day Matrix or someone will do a North African Campaign game.

spinecruncher -> RE: Campaign? (3/22/2018 9:33:23 PM)
Michael have you considered WiW?

warspite1 -> RE: Campaign? (3/22/2018 10:04:10 PM)
Well despite what I said previously I have bought the game. I am one of those desperate for a proper, land, naval and air, War In The Desert 1940-1943. If games like this are successful it shows an interest in the campaigns in the desert so on that basis this game has my money campaign or no.

Hopefully one day Matrix or someone will do a North African Campaign game. Editor allows to adjust unit and space scale as one desires. Eventually, someone will make it happen.

Michael T -> RE: Campaign? (3/25/2018 9:15:33 PM)
I actually devised my own NA Campaign from March 1941 to Dec 1942 with John Tillers 'Southern Front'. Worked rather well. But that series of games came to an end so the player base and hence opponents is miniscule. yes I tried WIW, IIRC the North African part of the game is only for the late period, post 42.

BletchleyGeek -> RE: Campaign? (3/25/2018 10:26:21 PM)
Well, maybe you could make it happen, Michael. Great campaign games can be very fun against human opponents, but I find they tend to suck out all the air from the room... distracting development from getting the basics "right", as they try to balance or patch loopholes in the rules which take 100s of man hours to identify, and only happen in campaign games. In the case of Desert War, most of the major battles are modelled, leaving out the strategic factors that constrained operations. I am personally tired of games that mix up operational and strategic war fighting only to end with a bland mixture that pleases no one. This one gets right the operational, and I find that personally extremely satisfying.
