Wizard Kings campign rules question (update)

I thought I'd update on the Wizard Kings campign.

My son and I started a campaign for Wizard Kings, it is a set of custom campaign rules by Jason Little and can be downloaded from the Board Game Geek file section in the Wizard Kings forum.

The campaign itself is very well done and has been a lot of fun, we are about halfway to being done with the first capaign (3 campain wins to win the overall war).

My son has been playing the forces of evil, I am the forces of good. The scenarios and system are well balanced, and we have been having very close games (my son's forces of evil are only in the lead by 1 point, which I intened to correct tonight! (insert evil laugh here) bwahahaahaa!)

In anycase, the only drawback I see for doing this long term is the lack of scenarios in the campaign pack (you need 10 points to win a campaign, which is anywhere between 3 - 8 games or so, depending on how much of a victory you are having) and then you need to win 3 campaigns to win the war (which could mean up to 5 campigns if it is close, which it has been). I know by the second time through these scenarios we'll be wanting to get some fresh ones.

Otherwise Jason did a super job, anyone who wants to have an ongoing series of games, with a nice point system (victory points) go for it!
