Family matters preempted my game today.

| OK, I did manage 1 turn. |
In the unlikely event that the howling winds of this 18 hour over night snow storm don't knock out our power, the game will proceed on Saturday.

ReplyDeleteMerci Phil!
DeleteHope all is well Ross, looking forward to turn two and beyond.
ReplyDeleteAll manageable thanks. Might get some turns in today.
DeleteI agree the tbltop looks pleasingly bucolic.
ReplyDelete(Aren't there any house rules stating things like a power outage signals a battle's delay, meaning the defender is allowed X" of entrenchments? A spilled tea spells sodden ground during the game? A coincidental courier or mail delivery means a Command bonus? Etc.)
Depends on the phase of the moon.
DeleteReal life stops play - a familiar tale I'm afraid .
ReplyDeleteToo often these days.
DeleteLooks good as usual and yes, family matters before the toys we play with.
ReplyDeletePriorities matter.
DeleteLovely scenic.
ReplyDeleteOld School-wise..
DeleteIt was a doozy. House was rattling pretty hard at one point.
ReplyDeleteI have a sinking feeling that the rain is going to hit us before I completely finish shovelling (can't push it these days) THEN it'll be a mess for sure.
DeleteHere's hoping that you can hunker down and dig out...and then play with toy soldiers!
ReplyDeleteIts a longer process than it once was...
DeleteI don't miss snowstorms back in New England...oh wait... I'll be back there in a month...
ReplyDeleteHope your shovel is tuned up and you've got a pot of coffee cooking.

My shovel is fine, its the power unit thats not going as strong as it used to.
DeleteHi Ross,
ReplyDeleteDown the coast (Connecticut and Long Island) we are scheduled for a "snow event" on Sunday night into Monday. Are you anticipating getting hit with this also? Stay warm and safe!
Jerry
A bit of it. Alternating snow and rain with freezing at night.
DeleteMy least favorite combo but comes with the territory and I'll take it over floods, forest fires, and earthquakes!
Verry nice blog.
DeleteCan you show a map of this game?
Verry nice blog.
ReplyDeleteCan you show a map of this game?
I'm sorry but I don't. I didn't have a scenario in mind so I got out bits of terrain and played around until I got an idea. I will make a map or take a picture of the ground with comments.
DeleteThanks.
