It must be several years since I have run a proper campaign, over recent years linked scenarios have been the order of the day, but with some interest and a little bit of press ganging over at Wyvern Wargamers and inspiration in no small part from by Prima Lucam's excellent blog. , I thought I would give if another crack.
Back in 1998 Rage software brought out a real-time
strategy game for the War of the Worlds, I must have spent many a late night
hunched over the PC screen cursing those bloody tripods...
It came with a very nice campaign system similar in
style to the Total War series of games, it reminded me of the Sport of Kings
campaign element of - Warfare in the Age of Reason - Seven Years War Rules -
The challenge was to tweak the campaign rules with the Rage software for table
top gaming and a number campaign moves representing the supposed Martian invasion of Victorian England.
Campaign Rules
A player wins the game by holding the largest number
of counties. Each county generates a number of points, Manpower for the Crown
Forces, Blood Resources for the Martian Forces.
The full rules can be found Here.
Initial moves and dispositions to follow shortly.

Sounds cool. My experience with campaigns is mixed. The first one I participated in was nice, but subsequent ones fizzled out for various reasons. Best wishes for your campaign, of course.
