That's a good idea. Lets see how the day goes and we can keep them as a team if we have more players or split them if we need to.

Cheers

Just firming up the game design this weekend...

Final call for players or anyone who is dropping out please let me know.

I hope weather will be fine next week and the snow here is just about clearing from the roads...

I am looking for the David who said he would be a Ref?

Could you post here or drop me an e-mail?

Thank you to Andy, Jere, John and David who played the game today and a big thanks to Steve who helped ref it.

I hope Paul is OK as I thought you were coming and I hope you did not get lost?

I will do a small write up at some stage. Just need to rest my legs as going up and down the stairs was a good work out for me and Steve.

Well played by both sides and a several good battles during the 3 hours we had of play. Could have gone either way.

Cheers

Just back from Northumberland. Wish we could have been there.

Hope the place is still intact, and that you will be allowed to host another Wink

Yes should be OK bar the fact that I found the Living Room Window had been opened and left open all night as I was not aware it had been opened. Fortunately we live in village so TV still in living room when got down there in the morning and opened curtains. It was only because I thought it was a tad cold did I find the window open.

Shocked

Anyway I think she who must be obeyed will let me hold another as everyone was well behaved and as the last had just left Debbie arrived so she was spared the sight of the horde.

Just sorting out the photo's and I hope to have a small article typed up later this week.

I hope Saturday was as well as could be expected for you and I am now seeking a pass for the March game. So hope to see you there.

So here we have a brief AAR of the game and some nice images of the map used...

Experimenting with using Power point and saving the output as Jpegs.

Seems to work OK. You need to maximize the image for the list of forces and even then not too clear but you can just about make out the brigades involved...

Very interesting but when you use the term 'stands' I am not sure what you refer to.

Do you feel a face-to-face meeting was worthwhile or would only email contact have done as well?

**MJ1** on Mon Mar 09, 2009 7:09 pm

Stands are a term used to describe what the unit would look like on a TT battle as I have used this system / campaign to generate battles for the Whipping Bobby Lee TT Rule Set.

This is for the Warwick Wargames group I belong to.

As for the other question you can always run KS as face to face or as E-mail.

Always fun to be face to face as you get quicker resolution, so not really sure what you are probing for with that?

BTW were you not coming that day? We waited a bit and then threw David into the role we had assigned for you....

Eek

- did I say I was coming? Apologies if so but I do not recall suggesting that I would be available.

**MJ1** on Tue Mar 10, 2009 5:48 pm

Are you Mr Dowden?

I had an E-mail from Martin asking for for me to contact you which I did...

Could be I am getting mixed up on who is who here...
