I can play today at the usual time, 14:00 EST, 19:00 BST. Tuesday's battle was a surprising victory. Pat was in charge.

Martin, I don't have any of the Garnier maps anymore. I'm sure you can download some from the new GCM site.

Mr. Digby Fri Sep 11, 2020 4:27 pm

I'm d/ling the full GCM2 map pack now and will have a look through them. I'm also working through our random maps and getting rid of the Inca platforms.

Hi guys
Unfortunately I can't play tonight. Have a good game chaps

Charmead Sun Sep 13, 2020 3:06 pm

I will be there today.

Not sure why the last game I played was a “Pat folder” one. Perhaps Kevin has lost his touch. Happens with age I suppose. Martin and I were happily sharing a pint at one objective whilst Grog handily took the other two. There was some fighting going off down south apparently but nothing but victory and fleeing Austrians where I could personally see :-)

I can play today at the usual time, 14:00 EST, 19:00 BST. Friday's battle was a fine victory by the Austrians. The French have now been driven from Italy. Pizza is back on the menu.

Mr. Digby Sun Sep 13, 2020 3:29 pm

And finally without the snails topping which never really caught on.

Uncle Billy Tue Sep 15, 2020 3:47 pm

I can play today at the usual time, 14:00 EST, 19:00 BST. Sunday's battle resulted in the French being driven out of Austria by Wellington and his merry men. Where will the poor unloved and unwanted French go next? Stay tuned.

Mr. Digby Tue Sep 15, 2020 5:29 pm

I hear Mordor is warm this time of year. Not much egalite, liberte and fraternite down there though.

Grog Tue Sep 15, 2020 6:41 pm

Hi guys. Can't play today fellas. Daughters birthday.
Have a good game chaps

Mr. Digby Tue Sep 15, 2020 6:43 pm

Have fun Grog - have a slice of cake and a plate of jelly for us!

DumpTruck Fri Sep 18, 2020 2:22 am

I will be absent on Friday. Best of luck on the field.

Uncle Billy Fri Sep 18, 2020 4:02 pm

I can play today at the usual time, 14:00 EST, 19:00 BST. With the death of Napoleon just south of Aicha, the French forces lost all cohesion and scattered in all directions. The Prussians had no difficulty in preventing their escape to the north, but that was the one direction they did not try to take. Where will they be found next? scratch

Uncle Billy Sun Sep 20, 2020 4:44 pm

I can play today at the usual time, 14:00 EST, 19:00 BST. The French finally were able to halt their retreat with a victory in Russia. This could be the start of the mother of all comebacks.

Mr. Digby Sun Sep 20, 2020 4:59 pm

I suspect the Russians will have to retreat somewhere. Maybe Spain?

Mr. Digby Tue Sep 22, 2020 3:54 pm

I won't be around today folks, see you Friday.

Charmead Tue Sep 22, 2020 6:38 pm

As it turns out I should be able to make it. Happy to do a “1 v n” PvP to test my command skills lol.

DumpTruck Tue Sep 22, 2020 6:45 pm

Alas I won't be around until later, but at best it'd only be for the last hour or so. I should make it Friday though.

Grog Tue Sep 22, 2020 6:54 pm

Hi Guys
Can't play today fellas. Limited time due to family illness. Have a good game

Uncle Billy Fri Sep 25, 2020 2:37 pm

I can play today at the usual time, 14:00 EST, 19:00 BST.

Charmead Fri Sep 25, 2020 5:56 pm

I can also play. And fully prepared to be a snarky subordinate to Kevin or vice versa. That is, if I want to lower my standards enough to actually take time away from more important matters and communicate to him via courier. A tenuous prospect at best.

Grog Fri Sep 25, 2020 6:47 pm

Can't play today fellas. Sorry, but mother in law very ill, so it might be a while. Have a good game

Charmead Sun Sep 27, 2020 12:06 pm

I will be there today.

Uncle Billy Sun Sep 27, 2020 4:04 pm

I can play today at the usual time, 14:00 EST, 19:00 BST. Friday's battle against the Austrian Empire resulted in a grand victory for the French. A new "fastest man in the world", Digby, was also crowned. cheers

He proved he could retreat with blinding speed when his division was confronted by 4 battalions of snarling Austrians.

Miko77 Sun Sep 27, 2020 4:10 pm

A new "fastest man in the world", Digby, was also crowned.

He even outpaced shirkers so they stayed with their battalions - well done, Sir cheers

Charmead Sun Sep 27, 2020 4:25 pm

Meanwhile Kevin demonstrated a new combined arms flanking maneuver with cavalry. It’s called the “shift-your-weight-in-the-saddle and lean left” to observe the infantry advance in the distance on the left flank. A similar maneuver is done for right flank thrusts. This pinnacle of tactical brilliance saves cavalry losses while simultaneously further endearing them to their infantry brethren.
