Did they share your thoughts or any comments? Flew a bit under the radar but noticed it was up for a Charlie.


I spent more time watching the Caucasus game than Gettysburg.  I'm not a big ACW guy.

That said, seemed like the terrain was getting the better of both sides, and limiting maneuver far more than either player would've liked.  No idea if that's normal for that game or not.

The Union player was having a hard time getting all his artillery where he wanted, but the Confederate player didn't seem to get much mass to take advantage.

The Clemson-NC State game used to always be NC State Fair week. Talk about a disaster...

I remember the year they wanted a noon football game and a 7pm hockey game on a State Fair weekend.

To their credit, they only had to learn that lesson once.   :idiot2:

The Modern World / Re: Blood & Fury from LNLP
« Last post by TTC on April 15, 2024, 10:46:11 AM »
I was fine cutting LnL some slack - they dropped the ball on communication and loads of people were pissed about that.

But I thought they were turning a corner and going to do more regular updates...they haven't.

Speculation is rife - and in the absence of any official posts, lies, mistruths and speculation are the name of the game.

Sorry - LnL should be posting more updates. I don't particularly care - not really - but I do understand why other people are getting their knickers in a twist.

That's a pretty poor way to behave.

I've followed this kerfuffle from afar.

Taking lessons from the rest of the Kickstarter world, if you just communicate with your backers/customers, they'll be understanding. We may not like it, but we all know there are shipping delays and production problems and even personal crises.

But if you don't communicate, people will speculate.
