Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

That would be really functional. You would get to play a LCG and learn different things as you go on. For the final scenario in the LCG you could have it ALL come together where you would use every thing that was learned in previous scenarios.

That's a good idea!
Thanks

Big Ivan

Hi Jerry

The symbols I use, I build when I make a map.

The symbols are traditional NATO standard symbology.

Dear Jason,

I voted Yes in the poll. The Campaign should progressively introduce the game concepts to both newbies & veterans, especially for newbies. It's a good way to attract more people to the game.

Why? Because I feel it involves the player on a more emotional level then a regular stand alone senario.boot camps are good for training yes...but you have bootcamps and have a linked mini campaign...where ther player can feel motivated to try different thing...then you have it all.

Status: offline 		They would probably be necessary to help newcomers get into the game.  This is a great game and it needs greater visibility.  I love the way the game plays.  It would be great to be able to expand it to earlier eras.  Does anyone remember 'Age of Rifles'?  Certainly dated now, but a great game, with somewhat similar mechanics to the Campaign Series.  It probably wouldn't take a huge amount to change some graphics files and weapons characteristics in order to recreate it.

But remember to take care and make it easy going so an inexperienced user gets through the LCG in one piece otherwise he/she might get frustrated early on..
