Hello RealDarko,
Thanks for your comments - glad you are enjoying this campaign!
It's not very complicated how I plan a campaign. Basically I take a plane or scenario that appeals to me, and try to find a beginning and an end that makes a good story - either a particular battle or particular period for a squadron. I try to confine each campaign to one map, if possible. I tend to aim for around 15 missions for a campaign, and this number increases or decreases as I work on the campaign, and see how the "story" is going. I tend not to do long campaigns, as I suspect that the longer the campaign lasts, the less number of people get to the end.
I try to create one template for the whole campaign, which is only added to slightly as the campaign progresses, and as historically appropriate. I do this so that I can use the same template for subsequent campaigns (e.g. flying for the other side)
If you want to play some of my earlier campaigns, you can try the link below. I'd recommend "The Fighting Cocks", "Battle For Kiev" and "Hell In The Pacific: Peleliu" as perhaps the most representative (and immersive) of my work.
