I will be at the con with some samples and starter kits. I will also have some rulers with me.

If anybody is going to run a game there , shoot me a PM. I would love to see the game in action.

I have not find anything like this myself and I am considering setting up my own site. I am not sure what I would need to consider however. I imagine that updating maps could be awkward.

Finally, perhaps this should be the subject of a new forum.


Thanks ...

F.e. Sullivan has the 1st Maryland Infantry Brigade 800 men -> are that 2 half-batallion blocks? What about the Light Dragoons (80 troopers) -> 1 cavalry block?

I just received Von Reisswitz rules. I read them eagerly and I'd like to organise a pbem game with my friends but I do not have some precise idea of how to do it. So, I'd like to know how you play Von Reisswitz rules by mail.
More precisely, I'd like to know what kind of gear you use (huge photocopies, emails, classical mails, jpeg, softwares...).
