So, next week is a much, much delayed week of vacation for me.

I'd like to start it on a Friday night by playing the Dumbest Game Ever Played, viz.:

The entire 1809 Spring campaign designed for "Snappy Nappy".

It is a VERY big table.  Too bloody big, frankly.

If your PC and connection aren't of the better sort it ain't happening for you.

SEVEN commands, Austrian and French.

I figure an 1800 CDT start.

Do we have interest?

Post here.

P.S.:  It's Dalinore's fault.

You can certainly count me in!

However there is a chance i'll be fairly busy towards the end of the month as my schedule is pretty booked up and i wouldnt wanna take someones place that could finish the fight if it goes for an extended amount of time of say... more than 3 sessions?

So pencil me in until you find someone better :)

I'd love to jump in, but Friday nights are a night reserved for writing with my co-author for one of my projects.

OK, cue taken...and I haven't heard from Jeff or, you know, that guy...

Friday bad.

Fair enough.

So when DO we do this?

Games without players are not an engaging prospect.

Just checking --

Would folks' opinion/options change if I told them we'd START this Friday and then pick up at some other time?

I just happened to have a big block of time and wanted to get the ball rolling.

If we wait for SNF, we'll be well into the Fall and I've got a Trafalgar game to run :).

Put me in, coach!

I'm, as far as I know, free anytime this month except for the Sail and Shot Tournament with Admiral Tolstoi Aug 21 & 22 that nobody else volunteered for.
