With
the
old
rules,
it
meant
fun
for
the
three
people
picked
by
the
leader
to
launch
the
attack
that
turn
(
and
if
@Anir
was
on
the
team,
he'd
probably
be
one
of
them
on)
,
with
the
rest
thumb
twiddling.
I'm
all
for
strategic
use
of
your
best
people
for
the
key
missions,
but
if
there
is
only
one
mission,
then
there's
no
secondary
objectives
for
lower
tier
players
to
cut
their
teeth
on.

Perhaps balkanising the game would offer a short term fix- if you have loads of factions, then it doesn't matter so much that only 2 or 3 people per faction are fighting in a particular turn. With lots of little factions slugging it out, you might also have a longer contest (didn't the last round last about one afternoon?) with a lot more politics as different groups ally up and backstab each other in pursuit of final victory.

Of course, if the factions are too fragmentary, they may not have people around at all times for the campaign and so lose their entire territory when they've gone to bed or out for drinks which isn't much fun.
