Although as everyone knows its impossible to play a multiplayer campaign it could be possible to do something similar with a simple set of rules and a human overseer who wasn't taking part as any of the factions.
What I'm thinking of doing is getting together a smallish group of players who might be interested, and then trying to run a campaign, in which the players would get together online to fight the battles and then post the results here or maybe e-mail them to an account set up for the job. (I think both players would have to save the battle replays and send them to the overseer so results could be double-checked)
Players would start off picking armies worth a certain amount of Denarii, and then send them to the overseer before the 1st turn of the campaign started.
The campaign would be played over a simple, probably abstract map, with players e-mailing their moves, which would be put into action once everyone had sent their moves in (Some sort of deadline might be nesecarry).
Each Province/Location captured would have some sort of denarii value that enabled people to reinforce there armies periodically. Maybe there could even be resources out there like horses which you have to control to build cavalry etc etc.
Anyway I have to go now but I'd like to here from anyone who has any questions about the concept or would like to take part.
