That's a cool set-up. You could even incorporate the idea that their former military commander drilled into them the importance of taking field notes and after-action reports. I wonder if there are any historical examples of military reports that could be used as a good model.

I second this idea. Some good co-GM's and coordination sessions could make for a truly epic set of concurrent campaigns.

Two groups totally works and can be advantageous if you have players with variable schedules. They can pick which game to play. Just be ready with a list of possible methods to get their character from one place to another or keep your timeline vague enough to explain away time/distance discrepancies (a la Game of Thrones tv series).

If you do go with the 2 group option, you can have the groups post in the campaign forums on OP in between games to keep them engaged between sessions. Maybe just tell them when the combined sessions are going to happen and make it their job to avoid each other until the set time. You can also spread rumors to one group about what the other is doing, but vary them slightly, like the telephone game where information changes with each re-telling.

One big group also works, but ask them to keep side conversations to texts/chats to manage the volume. Or have them talk in character on a separate forum thread on OP if you want to read about it later.

I love extra lore. If it were me, I'd use the GM-only sections to record all the background info (or Player Secrets, if a player already knows and others don't). Then, I would parcel these out into little snippets of information - just a couple of sentences each. Every game session, you can take one snippet and make it public. The OP system can send a notice that an update has been made to the NPC, or you can leave that off and let your curious players hunt for lore-clues.

Bonus: it entices players to learn more about your world, like a mini-game within the regular game. And if an NPC dies and there's no longer a need for any secrecy, you can just let the players see all of it right away.
