You were asked – TMP link Related to this poll, I am curious how long the campaigns that people are talking about are. So, how many games in a campaign? 18% said "ten games or more" 11% said "five games" 9% said "six games" |

Only 18% said "10 games"; 26% said "other (please explain)". The attendant explanations made it clear that a number would be very hard to pin down (no surprise). A more accurate summary might be "A campaign is as long as a string". - Ix |

Was 9 & 3 quarters an option? |

10 would be the modal number. But that is quite different from saying that a campaign is 10 games long. |

I have had campaigns that I ran that were effectively over after the first game (absolutely crushing victory followed up by hugely effective pursuit, think Napoleon's 1806 campaign) and ones that I have run over the course of many years involving hundreds of games. So, yes, as long a piece of string. |

Polls, or rather poll interpretation, reminds me of the old sayings: "Figures lie and liars figure." "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics" "Beware of geeks bearing numbers." "Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable" "71.3% of all statistics are made up" |

Our Clubs have only completed Campaigns of 18 games or less. Anything longer than that, they tends to lose interest. I have completed several of the FoW Firestorm series which are about 15-18 games. Their current D-Day game was split up into 3 prongs (British, American and American) of 6 games each. We started in December and we are 7 games shy of finishing. |
