I would say about right, I mean some factions(chaos, DE, tau) need more but on the main factions (eldar, imperials, orks) we have about enough. But by no means, please do not stop posting battles. We always need more.

I'm pretty happy with the number of reports our active participants are submitting, though I do wish we had more representatives of the Xenos armies (except Eldar, I don't need any more of those party-wreckers - honestly, where's the fun in averting disaster? ). If we had twice as many active players as we currently do with the existing system, I might say we should cut down to 2/player/week, but that's unlikely to happen now. There's some streamlining (mostly behind-the-scenes fixes to the guts of the site) that would make a larger player-base more managable, but that's for next time...

How about the number of locations? Is that about right, too many, not enough?

I'm inclined to say that we actually have one or two too many locations for the number of people involved.
There have been weeks when nobody reports in an area, and/or when only one faction shows interest in another locale. To get the players fighting more, they'd need fewer areas to fight over.
However, I don't think this has been a major issue (though it has left players a little detached from each other) and it should be less so with more players involved in future campaigns (see, I can be optimistic).
I'd probably stick with 5-6 locales for another campaign run in a similar format - depending on how optimistic I was being about active participants at the time.

With this last week it looks like not o many people will be posting battle reports. Is it me or has the number of people playing in the campaign shrunk?

A couple of the players who report a few games each just couldn't get any gaming in. The number of reports submitted has fluctuated all campaign - it's just the nature of gaming..

Task Force Silver Osprey is in a situation that I have to figure out. I am not sure on how to go about this. This Sunday I am playing in a mini-mega battle. DH/WH vs Chaos 4000 points. Where should I post for the ongoing plague. It does not involve a battle per say but would like some input.

Don't worry. I should be posting a couple of battles at least yet. My schedule, or I should say, my opponenet's schedule has changed from a beginning of the week gaming time to an end of the week gaming time, so I don't have a batrep waiting for as soon as the update appears.

How much were the side-story narratives involved in the campaign?

How much were the side-story narratives involved in the campaign? Side-stories were incorporated as best we could. Some of these were actually requested by the staff, such as LordJET's description of how his first encounter with the "native" Necrons - which set the tone for how his army would interact with the others and actually affected the overall personality attributed to the Daemonwearer. Others were left for further development rather than adopting them prematurely and mangling the player's story. I'm still a little vague on who/what was being described in "He Eats the Eaters," so it remained something on the side for Kurlin. Unfortunately, it didn't see enough development to become mainstream plot. Still more added depth without really changing the ongoing story. I enjoyed With the Kaptin, but it really expanded upon the BatReps and incorporating it explicitly wouldn't change anything. You can bet that it was read and that it probably had a subtle affect on the plot, though. However, the format proved a little... unrefined when it came down to plot that built the story and was properly player-knowledge without being commonly character-knowledge. It was one area where the amount of secrecy between factions didn't really work out at times. In general, if you wrote it, we tried to work it into the story - or at least explained why it wasn't.
