A Global Wargame

While some of our armies parade on shelves or rest in their barrack boxes, others are engaged in a battle that spans the globe.

may have noted talk of 2 PBEM Charge! games being hosted by Greg.  Since I enjoyed playing in the games and am the stay at home one with time on his hands, I offered to take a turn at hosting and they rather rashly agreed.

Ahh bold young lads, listen to your mothers and beware the Recruiting Sergeant!

 Here's what they have signed up for.

Instead of a well known set of rules and a clear scenario with a chance to write turn by turn unit orders they have only an undependable summary,  order of battle with vague arrival times and only a handful of cluttered photos on a blog and the occasional brief report to go by and have to issue mission orders to Brigadiers and trust them to carry out the orders, only intervening if right in the thick or observing something in a photo, or hearing reports that suggest they need to issue new orders, encouragement, advice etc.

They have graciously agreed to share the game with the blogosphere through a  page attached to my blog. (see list of other sites on sidebar or use this link:

I will be posting to the page after every turn. My hope is play 1 turn each morning and each evening but there may be delays if I need to wait on a crucial decision while family, work and a 12 hour time differential provide "friction". The game is set for 15 turns or 7-8 days if all goes well.

Meanwhile, if I continue to enjoy this as much I am at the moment and aren't lynched by the players I will be calling for volunteers for a future game.
(Cesar still interested in another? )
