It did finish. I don't remember the time frame. I think it was like 12-14 months. Was like 6-8 rounds, about 45-60 days per round. Was the 1st attempt and I remember it seemed to take forever for turns to complete. I think we went threw players left and right, some made the distance but many only lasted about 2-3 turns each. Some left and came back.

Yeah, I had to put my foot down and name the units for the campaign myself cause the players wanted to name their own and it was starting to get "really" weird.

Going back through the notes for my earlier campaigns, I am finding that players tend to be more involved long term if they are given more design input and help with the development of the campaign idea. This seems to work better than me having everything for the game completely laid out in advance and THEN asking people to sign up.
