All Commands Alert -- 1807 KS

[Cyrano]

I confess I broke my own rule.

I let too much time pass between turns, often for the best of reasons.

I now am left with two choices:

1.  Confess to the KS's collapse

2.  Stomp the accelerator and run the balance of it the way I should have, viz., turns every other day whether I like it or not.

This is all of you:

For France:
Portraying BOTH Napoleon I, Emperor of the French AND
Portraying Jean-Baptiste Bessières, 1st Duke of Istria, Commanding the Imperial Guard, Lance
Portraying Jean Bernadotte, Commanding I Corps, TomG
Portraying Louis-Nicolas d'Avout, 1st Duke of Auerstaedt, Commanding III Corps, Griff 2-6
Portraying Jean-de-Dieu Soult,, Commanding IV Corps, Gabe
Portraying Andre Massena, Commanding V Corps, Hatricus
Portraying Michel Ney, Commanding VI Corps Advocator
Portraying Édouard Mortier, Commanding VIII Corps: Pinetree
Portraying Jean Lannes, 1st Duke of Montebello, Commanding the French Reserve: Treb Courie
Portraying Joachim-Napoleon Murat, Prince of Berg and Admiral of the Empire, Commanding the Cavalry Reserve:  Dalinore (this, though random, really cracked me up)


For the Allies:
Portraying Levin August Gottlieb Theophil Graf von Bennigsen, Russian Supreme Commander, Tolstoi
Portraying Pyotr Bagration, Commanding the Avant-garde, Barthheart,
Portraying Alexander Ivanovich Count Osterman-Tolstoy, Commanding the Russian reserve, James Sterrett

Portraying Prince Michael Andreas Barclay de Tolly, Hethwill


Reserve:

Dave Pumphouse
Destruct30

Who is still in?

[GameGabster]

I am still in!

[Tolstoi]

I cast my vote for number one.

[thecommandtent]

I'm still in.

[Barthheart]

I confess that I have lost the train of this and therefore must resign my command. 

[Pinetree]

I'm still here.

[TTC]

I kinda fell off the train too, but if it starts rolling, I'll jump back on.

[Hatricvs]

I would be willing to continue but, I do feel the momentum has been lost in the game so would also understand if it were cease.

[GameGabster]

I say we just plough through to get the momentum going again. To have all of what we have achieved this last year go to waste would be a shame.

[Destruct30]

If you need someone from reserve I’m happy to join

[Cyrano]

Well. this went as long as I promised myself I'd leave it up.

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".

I love the KS wand will offer one in the very near future, but it will come with a change:  I will ask all participants to keep a cadence; those that miss will be botted for a bit and then excused.  More on that after I get back from my pilgrimage in late July.

Until Then.

Ack, I only saw this post today. For whatever it is worth now, I would have been happy to continue.

Not that YOU were the problem in any way, but a failure of central communication was one of the obstacles I have to overcome for the next one.  Unfortunately this forum seems inadequate.

The International Kriegspiel Society does a good job hosting events on Discord. They set up a separate channel for each player, allowing the umpires to post updates and messages there and receive orders.

I know it's a huge time investment up front for the umpire, of course.

Bummer but understandable. I know I was a slacker getting my orders in a few times and was generally confused most about what my troops were seeing most of the time.
