So before I get told that there's already a thread dealing with new campaign ideas, I wanted to point out that this thread is rather a series of campaign ideas I had and wanted to throw out there. Others can share their own ideas for a cool new campaign as well. Anyway, I just wanted to share some ideas I had written out for fun about new campaign ideas. Here's some gameplay modes I thought would be cool additions as well:
Siege: One side attempts to break through the fortifications of the other side and capture the objective, while also attempting to drain the manpower tickets of the enemy.
Urban Battle: Urban combat in the streets of a city / town.
Line Battle: A major line battle, mainly fought in fields, plains, hills, etc.
Fortification Assault: Unlike Sieges, which are drawn-out engagements, Fortification Assaults are direct attacks on a fortified sector of an enemy position.
Skirmish: Small, brief scenes of combat.
