Well, based on viewership, the ACW would seem to be popular.

Everyone back in the saddle for part 2?

Let me know if not so?

Hi everybody,
a little strange request for next Antietam game, but that could made SNF more international.
My brother, a long time wargamer as I am (should I said "old" wargamer as I am?) just changed his computer that gives him a lot of problems to play with TTS, Now he's got a premium one.
And I told him if he wants to join us for next game, if the problems is that we already have enough commanders I can borrow him part of mine, but I would be pleased to show him the good mood that exists in our game, and I'm quite sure that adding another silly english accent to the game could be funny at least.
He lives in Milan so same CET time that I have, and I promise you talking in italian will be severerly forbidden.

Just let me know if you think he can partecipate :D

Cheers

Done, he's nickname in Steam is "Ilbarizio"
And to make things worst, speaking about the pronunciation, is real name is Fabrizio.

Last question: this evening 6pm or 7pm?

Grazie

I've really enjoyed watching this one. To me, it was one of the most interesting ACW battles.

Having watched it played out for seven hours now, I can think of no system that gets this battle more "right".

I'm not sure the game clock mechanism would work nearly as well for some of the other battles, but here it's got the two commanders at each other's throats to see who gets to control the clock.
