I have finished campaigns in Shogun, Medieval I, Rome, Medieval II, Empire and Shogun II. I have won in all those games except for Empire and Shogun II. I haven't finished or won any NTW campaigns.

I lose a lot of campaigns pretty quickly because I take big risks early.  I rarely win because once things are going my way I tend to lose interest.  On the other hand, when playing a good PBEM opponent, I will just beat them til they give up.  When playing a poor PBEM opponent (which hasn't happened in about 10 years) I let them get honorable terms (such as on the old ladder system for Panzer Campaigns) since beating somebody once they are going down fast just doesn't interest me.

I have a similar problem to MJ, once I let an opponent pummel my general(s)/admiral(s) senseless they quickly lose interest in playing me again - so I struggle mightily to give them a challenge.
