Here are the links to all the postings for the whole 'Long Live the Revolution' campaign narrative, from the small beginnings in a regional market town, reaching as far as the national capital, and finally receding to whence it came.

Will there be a sequel? Possibly. And maybe we haven't heard the last of Colonel Peenut Buttahjars, either. The Nawab, Maibiwih Khan, forbore to visit much in the way of reprisals against the townspeople of Madasaiwannabe, figuring that those who didn't accompany the Colonel into the northern hills were probably not revolutionaries anyhow - or at least, not fanatical about it. He figured that some punishment against provable recreants - for a given value of the 'proofs' - were sufficient, lest he exasperate the populace into a more dangerous revolt.
More to be apprehended was a neighbour to the north. Nimruz, a semi-arid, half desert and half mountain country, was to develop a rather unhealthy interest in some rich mineral country along the Tchagai border. This would lead to border incidents, the Nimruz army fueled by large quantities of equipment supplied by the vast Confederation of Collaborative Collective Peoples - the CCCP.

DeleteArchduke Piccolo,
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for doing this as it means that I can easily read the whole story of the campaign from start to finish very easily.
Here’s to the next campaign!

Bob -
DeleteYes, it is high time the Kavkaz Campaign was resumed and concluded. I have other campaigns clamouring for attention. One - for which I have a map and OOBs prepared - is the 'Hundred Days On One Table'.
Cheers,
Ion
Wonderful idea, much help in reviewing a long running sojourn. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCheers, pancerni -
DeleteHelps when there are other topics interspersed amongst it all.

There’s a whole lot of reading to be done there Ion. Still, now we know the outcome, we can read through and see if we can spot the crucial moments, the points where the campaign “turned”. Was it ever down to a single dice throw, or was it slow progress?
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Geoff -
DeleteThe thing came down to a pivotal battle - the attempted storming of the 'National' capital, Nawabisbad - that ended the Revolution's tide of success. Before then the BARFists had been having things all their own way. Subsequently I rather expected more of a see-saw campaign, but that's not how it turned out. So the story turned into a pivotal 'contrast plot' or, if you like, a circular plot. It could have been quite different.
Cheers,
Ion
