I'm looking for books that are not too specific (like "How to run the Gettysburg Campaign"). Instead, I'm looking for generic campaign creation books that could work for anything from Ancient Macedonians to 40k Space Marines. Thanks! |

A really good resource is "Setting Up A Wargames Campaign" by Tony Bath. |

The two older ones I started with are: Featherstone's Wargames Campaigns – has a lot of generic material and then specific examples CS Grant's Wargaming Campaigns also has a lot of good stuff |

In addition to the ones mentioned above: Warhammer's The General's Compendium is a surprisingly useful book with a wide variety of ideas that run the gamut from historical, fantasy and SF. And now there's Henry Hyde's recently released Wargaming Campaigns which is a comprehensive guide. |

Henry Hyde's 'Wargaming Campaigns' is about as complete as they come at over 500 pages, and includes maps, illustration and photos. Besides that, Henry is a very engaging writer. |

Tony Bath's book, Featherstone's is useful but a bit scatter gun and I need to actually read henry Hyde's new book but it looks superb and is a "mighty tome" |

Oh yeah – that Warhammer book is pretty good! |

I've been waiting on the Hyde book for some time. Latest info from Amazon is it will be delivered on Tuesday which makes me very happy. :) |

I can't speak from personal experience but several reviews say this campaign is so good that it can be applied to any period:

I've used ideas from Tony Bath's book for creating campaigns, but have used a lot of boardgame ideas as well. |
experiments with 3Dprinting tiles.
