What's a C&C versus a field commander?

Three possibly confusing terms.

C&C:  Commands and Colours.  name of the system.

Field General -- In a full epic game, each of the three sections on a side is commanded by a field general.  He moves the troops and rolls the dice in combat.

CinC -- In a full epic game, each side has an overall commander who draws the cards and issues them to the commanders.  He gets no troops himself.

Gotcha, thank you.

Absolute blast.

Thanks to the players.

And congrats to the "Comeback Carthaginians" who went from 2-9 down to an 11-9 win.

Well done!

That was a lot of fun. I'd like to get a C&C game from GMT but am not sure which one, though I'm leaning towards Ancients. Problem is I admit full and utter ignorance as to ever having heard of any of the battles therein.

Sigh, really sorry I had to bail last minute last night...  :( Just a comedy of errors at our place last yesterday and marital harmony won out.

I have, however, booked in time for next Saturday.  :)
