What sort of evil monster are you to post something like that? I don't even understand how someone can make a game that so clearly relies on the exploitation of post-people and the unfair treatment of correspondence. This sort of thing is not the subject for "play." In fact, I think we should never mention postal workers, letters, or the delivery thereof ever again.

Savages.

Savages?!?
How can any enlightened person dredge up and flippantly fling a Euro-centric, racist term for otherly developed peoples from humanities darkest years, anytime before 2010, and expect to be taken seriously.

Barbarians.

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

Would play ahead of Agricola

My first inclination is to call you out as having committed the fallacy of the wicked alternative, but, damn, my desire to play either game is so profoundly low that...damn...I dunno...

I think that's a crop you can grow in Agricola.

How dare you call me a barbarian! I'll have you know that I habitually wear a chiton rather than trousers and only speak Greek.

So, we will NOT have a wheat orgy.

We will not ensure that the mail gets through.

We will not reap the abundance of the Earth's rewards.  I still can't decide which I want to play least.

We will, however, I think, play games within the SPI 30YW Quad.

In my head, I'm running the camera and keeping folks apprised of how games are going and trying not to turn the whole thing into a digital blender.  This may be naive, but there it is.

The games are:

1.  Rocroi
2.  Lutzen
3.  Freiburg
4.  Nordlingen

Who's in and wants to play what?

You KNOW Doug and I will play Lutzen for our own amusement without prompting, but I'd like to present games like this as vital, relevant options, if only for reference, in the current debate about wargames.

I will cheerfully play any one of these. If we're short handed, I'll play TWO.

I'm reading about Rocroi right now, for whatever that's worth.

I’m in for any of them... maybe even multiples... could be fun like multi board chess.
