A camp is a representation of the logistical element of an army.  In a game of Triumph!  each army must have a camp represented on the battlefield; it is possible (depending upon the flow of battle) for it to be captured (sacked) by the enemy, which event has a strong impact on victory conditions.  This website is a discussion of making camps for wargaming in Triumph!   See links below for the Triumph! rules and the Meshwesh online army lists for the game.

In the subpages I have grouped camps into categories as follows:

• Simple Camps: easily created dioramas needing little more than a few figures.  While these are "easy" camps in one sense, they can still be beautiful little models.

• Object Camps: camps built around a special or unique object that might be difficult to find.  For example, my Trojan War camp built around a small tourist model of a Trojan Horse found in a shop near Troy, in Turkey.

• Complex Camps: camps with greater creative complexity.

• Other People's Camps: camps made by people who are not me.

• There is also a discussion of Camp Scale.

• One of the useful tools for playing Triumph!  is a simple square base for measuring zone of control (ZOC).  That sort of ZOCinator also gets some discussion.

Camps are fun modeling opportunities, allowing you to create dioramas.  I made this page to share my enthusiasm for this creative process, and to encourage others in their own efforts.  I hope you enjoy it.
