The YouTuber Valefisk and his friends have been working through a Campaign for North Africa playthrough in the background of other videos. This feels like the highest chance the game has to ever be completed, as he's known for excessive drawn out games torturing his friends, and either actually completing a CfNA playthrough or proving that it's impossible would be the ultimate culmination of that.

According to his patreon update posts, the video is going on 8hrs long and is more of a video essay about the game than showing a playthrough (which feels like a good thing - not sure the game itself makes for good spectating!)
They haven't been playing CNA in the background though, I believe they did a very condensed version of the game over a few days. The video script/editing is what's been taking years.
This game is cumbersome because of insane amount of bookkeeping. Thus I've always wondered: if someone made a digital copy, which could do all the bookkeeping for you, would it still take forever...

There's a version for Tabletop Simulator. No promises on how much bookkeeping is done for you, but at least you can't accidentally knock over any of the pieces.

You know how in some boardgames you know an hour before the end that you're going to lose and there's nothing you can do about it? What about seeing it coming for not just an hour, but maybe five years. Or ten! And still having to play until the end just to complete it.

That's wild. So there is no video series dedicated to the game itself, just snippets in the background of other videos?
Not yet, I'd suspect there will be one or several long videos released whenever the game has finally concluded.

A fun read about an unfinished wargame that is such a massive undertaking that no record of a completed play is known.
Feel free to label as off-topic, but: NYT gifted links still require a login to read? Is that new?

Sorta new, I think it’s been happening for at least a month for me. I know it didn’t used to require an account to view gifted links.
I had no idea! What a load of bs
