Apr 25 & 26 Scheduled Game Sign-up

Here is the doodle link for this week at the usual 20:30 BST.  It is much easier to create a scenario if the number of people playing is known.

Unable to play this W/E. Daughter visiting Friday and out to the cinema Saturday.

I can play Friday or Saturday, but not both. I've put Saturday at the moment, but could probably switch, given notice.

I can't play on Saturday. Small chance for friday, though.

Have good game today, whoever's playing!

I've done a ACW scenario for tomorrow, which we can play if no-one comes-up with something else. It does require that you have the Pipe Creek maps add-on.

I on TS right now if anyone wants to play a shorter game (90min)...

EDIT: It's getting too late   

I will be available for a Sat. ACW game.

And to add to mood, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yHHPZ7Sp1c

But, to increase the ambiance as we await the upcoming festivities, let us share a "cracker!"

I have enough to pass around...now, if Kevin doesn't forget the salt horse!

Now, with a good meal in hand, let us rejoice in the vocal recognition of the a-number-one brigade of the old ANV, Hood's Texans!

If we do play ACW today - and if no-one has any objections - I would like to test reactions to making individual artillery flags invisible.  The battery commander still has a flag, so you can still give orders to the battery.

I have a small mod which does this, and have previously tested it with a couple of other players without problems.  The feeling was that it significantly improves the look of the battlefield, and also helps players focus on command at the 'general' level, especially now we normally operate at divisional (rather than brigade) level.

If everyone's up for this, I will email the mod to you all before the game.
