Something new for me as I missed out last year. I learned a lot of new ways to play B&P and learned a new game called Oak & Iron. I had a great time playing, but finding players was tough if not impossible during the work week to meet weekly campaign objectives. To be honest, I’m glad the campaign is over as I was getting a lil stressed to develop or set-up a new game each week and find players. I was also getting a lil burned out from the weekly game play too. Whaaaat, you might say, but when your the focal point for running games in your club area it gets a bit tough. I played the Spanish, and I felt our Spanish campaign leader left us short in comparison to other leaders of different nationalities. I think there has to be better weekly communication from our leaders. Give us some insight, add weekly objectives which are solely unique to that faction…i.e. Spanish will raid some cattle…get one back to the ship. Too easy. . I think the weekly battle report entry form was ok as it didn’t really capture the full O&I information as in comparison for the B&P players. It just felt the O&I play was second fiddle and didn’t get much love…it was an after thought. I look forward to playing next year and thank you for sponsoring the campaign.
