An awesome undertaking!

Now, back in the days when these articles were coming out, I gamed out the South Province wars using a half-inch hexmap of the Greyhawk map and a campaign system of my own devising.

Each week's army movements were written out in advance, then executed according to an impulse system. Contact, scouting, garrisons, supply and foraging were taken into account. I cooked up a very abstract system to deal with the battles.

So, if there's interest I might try to reconstruct the campaign rules on my own blog. It would make a nice tie-in to whatever rules are used for the tactical battles.

My thanks to all of you for taking the time to read these articles. And much thanks especially to the Lord of the Green Dragons for allowing me to guest-blog.

@LotGD: I hope your moving plans have gone well and look forward to your return. We've kept your hall fairly active.

@Roger the GS: Sounds very interesting. I would like to see it when you have the time. Anything that keeps the tabletop busy is a good thing!

Ciao!

What I loved about those Dragon articles -- and now these -- is the way they took the static folio descriptions and gave us a world where international politics could spawn grand and thrilling battles. The lead-up to the Nyrond war was especially exciting so I'm grateful to see it here.

@rafael beltrame: Hello again! It has been fun. From going through the Dragon articles, trying to sketch some art showing the armies (sadly, I haven't been building as much as I should have by now), and going through the Field of Glory supplements. I'll do my best to get it all together.

@bombasticus: Yes, I agree. I often used fragments of these and other articles as background conversations in taverns, etc..as well as adventure hooks for my players. I'm happy you've enjoyed my attempt to bring some of this info back into the light.

Ciao!
