The all capital you has me concerned it was me...

As mentioned, IKS does a good job using Discord. I've got three games going with them currently and get notifications whenever I need to do something. It works nice. And all the messages are in one thread that I can easily scroll through, much easier than email.

If you guys shift to Discord, we can set up some Kriegsspiel specific channels/groups in ours, or if Jim wants a separate dedicated one we can get one of those up, too.

I also just noticed this. I must admit that I seldom look into the forums for what is going in the game. I depend on what I get in emails. So, a lesson learned, and in the future I'll check the forum thread regularly. For what it is worth, I would have still been in for the game.

By the way, when in the heck happened to my, Bernadotte's, cavalry?

So will we ever find out what happend in the game. I guess there were some filmed reports as in previous games. It would be nice to know something about how the campaign was turning out rather than just a pulled thread and a deceased game?

I am also glad to help setting up a Discord server if wanted. I do agree with the above, the IKS is running dozens of massive text based Kriegsspiels/campaigns this way, and it works perfectly well.

Meet me on LinkedIn, BlueSky, BoardGameGeek, YouTube and Twitch!

Apologies I've been absent from the forums for a bit, I was really enjoying the kriegspiel and would happily join another.  I wish I knew what the state of things near me and Mortier actually were?  There was so much fighting over that little area. I wish I knew too if reinforcements were close by for either side. My guys under Davout were basically fought out and probably over-marched by the conclusion of things.

Bummer. I didn't catch this thread until just now - I'd have been more than happy to continue, but apparently that ship has sailed (or, perhaps more accurately, sunk). Kinda wish something had been sent to me directly as I only check the Armchair Dragoons very infrequently (less than once a month).

 :(

The answer is fairly obvious, if regrettable, viz.: I've got to take this one down.

My apologies to those who were still very much "in".

OK, now I've gotta do something positive because I feel even worse than I did before.

Obviously this forum was not the place to keep people connected.

If we drove over to Discord, would everybody be sufficiently connected to it -- notifications, &c. -- to stay in touch?
