Middle Earth Battle Companies

If not, maybe it's best to do this as a league system?

Also anyone have any idea how long a game takes? (Chris maybe?), as if you can fit two into an evening then it's probably best to do it once a month and everyone come on the same night.

The campaign system is quite like Mordheim although it is simplified. Characters gain better stats and skill although 'minions' don't improve directly, they can be promoted to a better model as the campaign progresses, for example a Minas Tirith swordsman-> Minas Tirith Knight. There is a limited crossover between the mission played and the warbands themselves (one of the injury rolls for heroes forces you to play a specific mission or the hero dies) but in general its a case of rolling for the scenario and playing a game.

You can buy equipment and gain reinforcements via 'influence' which is earned by playing games. There is also a short narrative campaign but it isn't well suited to large groups and as it will require a lot of addition models it can safely be ignored.

Games are very short. I had a game that lasted a whole 18 minutes in it's entirety but the average was probably about 35-40. It's standard SBG rules with a low model count, it really doesn't take long. I managed to fit in 5 games in about 2.5 hours.
DZC: UCM
DFC: UCM and PHR
Saga: Gall Gaidheal
Bolt Action: Heer Panzergrens
Warzone: Capitol
Epic: Orks and Marines
Necromunda, Mordheim, BFG, Frostgrave..basically anything that isn't 40K or the abomination that is Age of Sigmar.
