With our many absences and a promise -- a promise I say -- from Mirth to join, let us do something special.

I want to have a go with LazyBoy's terrific voxel figures and terrain for the brigade-level "Altar of Freedom".

If more than Doug and Mirth join we can pick one of his larger scenarios, but his Shiloh setup is very lovely.

It's also encouraged me to get back into reading about the ACW which I realized I'd not done in a LONG time.

And it turns out I miscalculated.  We are good to go at 1900!!! (CDT)

I actually don't really like games.

Days off/vacations usually do not register with me actively until a week or less to go time. Sorry about that, it totally slipped my mind.

I can sub in for BC.


 :bigthumb: I don't think either of us screwed up the British side too badly. HMS Victory has been especially impressive, taking on the Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad like a brave little RN ship should.

I'm already blinf in one eye, I can pretend to be missing an arm and step right in.

Sounds like it may make sense to delay a week on the finish until more of the original cast are available? I'm happy to fight myself, but I'm also happy to give a spin to an SPI game Jim vs. Doug, or another Blucher session if it makes more sense.

This is sad. I'll jump in this week.

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.
