Impromptu Games

and you would have received 150 in return - just to make sure you know about my situation.... and the wench in that village....

And I would have racked up so many more VPs by having them accidentally shot by my over-protective staff!

definitely more than 61 points

TS server issues again or just me? GCM works for me...

Is anyone playing today? I can and will be in TS at the usual time.

I can throw together a quick scenario if there is interest.

Anyone playing today? Weds 30th.

I can throw together another quick scenario if people are available to play.

1806 Prussians for a change?

Is there a game today?

I still have the scenario I made for Wednesday.

Is there a game today or Friday?

We have two new players in the campaign, Iriasthor and AWhite92 and it would be good to get both involved in a test or familiarisation game in a relaxed atmosphere vs the AI rather than have their first game be a campaign battle where experience tells us that new player integration can be time consuming (not through anyone's fault, it simply is that way).

Iriasthor and AWhite92 - can either of you make a game at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET / 15:00 EST on either day please? We do not even need a scenario. I can host and we can just sandbox it in order for you to get the feel of things. It would be good to have you both play in the Calatayud game this Sunday but I want you to have MP experience before then, if at all possible.

I can play tonight . It will be 8pm or soon after.

I'm on kid watch duty, so interruptions possible.

Mike

Hi Digby, thanks for you interest in us! Unfortunately I will not be able to make it today, but I can somehow securely say that tomorrow I will be available if the game is still on .

Unfortunately we don't meet Thursdays. It tends to be Sat/Sun/Mon/Wed/Fri.

Oh, sorry, I misread your previous post!

The soonest I can get today and on friday is at 21:00 UK time, an hour later.

Maybe on friday we might play at 21:00 UK time provided you will join us.

I cannot make Friday but if a couple of guys can give Iriasthor a familiarisation game that would be great.

I will try and be here on Friday but usually I am around on Sat and Sun. Thank you for trying to help us Mr. Digby.

Today I will try being in the Teamspeak server for around 21:50 - 21:55.

Here is a map and OOB for a scenario I just put together.  This game will start an hour later than usual, 21:00 BST, (16:00 EST).



After the destruction of the Austrian depot at Ostrowitz, the French were pushed back south in subsequent fighting.  This gave the Archduke the opportunity to reestablish the storehouses.  Word of this has reached the Emperor and this turn of events presents him another opportunity to capture more Austrian war material.  With the fall of Vienna, the Austrians are quickly running out of means to wage war.

Cavalry patrols have been unable to penetrate north of Neu Nart and Engeldorf.  Austrian light cavalry has made all attempts to determine the size of the enemy force impossible.  Judging by the size of the cavalry forces present, it can be assumed that Ostrowitz is guarded by more than one division.

Objective:
Capture the town of Ostrowitz with at least 1,000 infantry and cavalry and hold it for at least 15 minutes.  This will simulate the burning of the depot.

Did you play yesterday?

Is there a game today?

Yes we played. Miquel did a good job commanding his division for the first time via HITS. Most importantly, we burnt the Austrian storehouses to ashes. I must confess though, the enemy gave us a bit of trouble.

It was a nice battle, adequate to get used to the HITS mode.

Although at the beginning I got a bit lost, Pepe and Kevin helped me quite a lot, giving tips and correcting any bad moves I could be doing.

PS: It's Mikel, by the way

It was a very successful first time as divisional commander in HITS MP for Mikel, he did a very good job.
