Two men plan decades to finish complex war game
Andy Taeger and James Purcell from Newcastle intend to play The Campaign for North Africa over the next 20 to 30 years.
Practice run took eighteen months
The pair completed a six-turn practice session that required about 18 months of work. Andy Taeger stated they are now looking at a timeline ranging from 20 to 30 years for the full game.
Friends met at house party
James Purcell and Andy Taeger became fast friends after hearing each other sing at a gathering ten years ago. Their shared interest in various board games has kept their friendship going since that initial meeting.
Goal is to finish game
The duo aims to become the first people known to have completed this specific war game. They accept that finishing the project will take a very long time based on their current progress.
