Ohio State vs Clemson, so I'm probably out. 

Wife was teasing me about that the other day.

Here at ACD, we all pee the same color.

I have my third head cold of the season going on. I’ve decided I hate children and their snot nosed viruses.


Assuming I feel alright, I’ll be there.

I actually don't really like games.

Man, let none doubt that C&C:N hauls freight and gets to a conclusion in a reasonable amount of time.

And, as Doug said after, it does tell a good story.

Thanks for those who showed 'round.

I some ways, it's the counter to Blucher. The game last night had none of the complex maneuver we saw in the Teugn-Hausen game. It didn't have the interesting narrative bits of taking the time to deploy that we see in Blucher. Combat is far deadlier than in Blucher. The terrain is far more abstract.


And yet...the system still tells a good story. It still rewards reasonable tactics. It still feel like a Napoleonic battle.


I guess it shows that even among quick play systems, there can be significant variety in the approach yet the different systems can still yield very satisfactory games. I like that we can chose what level of abstraction we want to deal with but still get a game over in three hours or less.

Cyrano,

I've been enjoying watching your C&C Napoleonics games.  I noticed you were missing the die. Try the attached file. It should load into TTS. Let me know if it needs to be modified in any way. I got the schema from the GMT living rules.

Cheers,

Greg
