1.0 About
1.1 The Western Campaign is a fictional strategic-to-tactical campaign of point-to-point movement set in the American Civil War. Participants will command personal units which develop over time, building skills, receiving reinforcements, and so on. The commander also enjoys their own career and can be promoted, awarded medals, mentioned in dispatches, and so on. The campaign is hosted by and played in the spirit of the greater Kregisspiel community with emphasis on camaraderie, cooperation, and realism.
1.2 All battles will be fought with full HITS and Couriers settings. That means you will remain in the saddle during battle (this is pre-set by the host) and you may only communicate using in-game courier messages unless you are beside a commander on the field. Only when in close physical proximity to another commander may you use a whisper voice chat via Teamspeak.
2.0 How to join
2.1 Post in the enlistment thread the following information:
2.1.1 Name – This will be your commander’s name. You must use an actual name, even if it is fictional, with a Christian first name and a proper last name. For example, Joe Smith is acceptable. Yankeekiller1863 is not. We will make the determination if your name is acceptable. Also, historic names such as Jackson and Lee are generally okay, however, we will not allow multiples of the same personage.
2.1.2 Command type: Choose Infantry, Artillery, or Cavalry. Infantry units start with 2,000 men to the brigade, divided into 4 regiments. Artillery will have two batteries of 4 guns each. Cavalry will be 4 regiments of 250 men.
2.1.3 Choose unit states and names: These may be historic or fictional, but should follow historic conventions. For example, the 10th VA is okay, as is the 2nd California. (an actual Union cavalry unit). Units may NOT (yet) have special names such as “The Stonewall Brigade.” These may be earned.
2.1.4 Brigade commanders will begin the game with the rank of colonel and may be promoted to brigadier by their division commanders.
