A couple months ago, I tried really hard to set up an 1809 KS using "Snappy Nappy" and the wonderful "Campaign in a Day" system that SN accommodates.

It did not work.

This guy Dalinore comes along and says, 'you know, I bet you could combine the TEN -- TEN -- tables and figures you were using for that and make one gigantic SN game.

I cannot ignore such tauntings.

So I built it.

It's flipping huge and does not run with silky smoothness on my PC.

We've had the idea of having a long-ish kick-off session (six hour?) and then following up episodically as best we can.

It is, as I say, the Silliest Game Ever Designed (TM).

Who would be interested?

And, for those not following the history:  Napoleonic, Austrians vs. French in Bavaria.

It would be such an ACD thing if Cyrano had to upgrade his home PC to run an über-tabletop kriegsspiel through TTS.....

As always Jim, if you are running it I'm interested as long as I'm available when it goes down :)
