Campaign & Scenario Timeline (A Resource)
I've been looking for something like this as a basic chronology to follow for potentially running future scenarios/campaigns and stumbled across this dude's blog (the work is NOT mine). Figured this has been posted here before (or at least some close approximation to it), but couldn't seem to find it. Thought others might appreciate seeing how some of the scenarios and campaigns might exist before and after each other should someone want to try and run a mad long narrative through them all (somehow, lol).
OP has done some really great work breaking these down not only by year, but by actual date as well. Where applicable, actual dates are listed. Where actual dates are not explicitly stated, years are notated. Campaigns and scenarios lacking both actual dates and years are found at the bottom of the list.
There are definitely some missing (like "Berlin") as the original post is from August of 2017. If any are wrong (or missing), please feel free to let me know and I'll add them to the correct place so we have a more complete chronology.
