The campaign as it stands allows for a few basic scenarios, eg. Ambush, Assault,
Raid, and a second type of assault used when attacking the enemys capital. I
would like to include a few other scenarios, but I figured that these would
develop as the campaign takes place.

For example if a character stand seems to do extremely well in battle then he
may become the focus of a scenario, or a titan that has survived every battle
that it has fought may become so notorious that the enemy decides to go after
it. The thing is I really want to finish the campaign, and not just leave it
hanging when I go off to university so I don't want it to get too bogged with
scenarios, or for individual battles to go on for too long.

Thanks for the suggestions anyway, I'll try to have a look at your website as
soon as I can.
