Campaign Hub

The campaigns on this blog are an attempt to link tabletop battles into something larger: a coherent narrative shaped by geography, politics, personalities, and consequence. Games are not treated as isolated events, but as episodes within a broader story in which victory, defeat, and decision all matter.

Campaigns may be firmly historical, loosely interpreted, or deliberately speculative. What unites them is an interest in historical simulation: using wargames to explore how conflicts might unfold, rather than simply to refight set-piece battles. Background material, maps, and scenario design are as important as the games themselves, and much of the writing here focuses on the thinking behind the tabletop.

This page acts as a guide to the major campaigns documented on the blog, with links to background articles, scenarios, and battles.

Featured Campaigns

Mystic Britain: Chronicles of Blood and Iron

A dark-age campaign set in a fractured post-Roman Britain, blending historical uncertainty with mythic elements. The campaign explores power, loyalty, and survival through linked scenarios and evolving factions.

The Spectacular Adventures of The Leopard (Pulp Alley Campaign)

A character-driven skirmish campaign focused on narrative development, personalities, and small-scale actions rather than grand battles. The campaign is set in the English Civil War in 1643 and captures the swashbuckling feel of films like The Three Musketeers, Moonraker, and The Scarlet Blade.
