Do you know how long the game will last for Russ? I would need to leave around 5.

Sorry having been at York the weekend before I can't really swing another weekend of not visting the outlaws so I'll have to give this one a miss. I was really looking forward to having a go at this and will if it is played again in the future.]]> Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:16:13 +0000 http://wigan-wargames.co.uk/wiganwargames//forum_posts.asp?TID=2804&PID=16198#16198 http://wigan-wargames.co.uk/wiganwargames//forum_posts.asp?TID=2804&PID=16197#16197 Author: Stick

Ok, so far as I know, we're good for go on Sunday 12 Feb.

The plan is that I'll show up at 10:00am (as will, presumeably Andy) to set up, with the aim for an 11:00am start. Please let us know if this doesn't work for you.

Players and faction (which I randomized)

Russ - The English
Andy - The Ottomans
Bod - The Papacy
Peter - The Protestants
Martin - The Valois Dynasty of France (to use the game's name for the faction)
Barry - The Habsburgs

If anyone desparately wants to change their faction, post here and suggest a change.

As I stated in my previous post, I think that reading the "Here I Stand in 20 minutes" summary is a must for all players. For those who can (and want to do so), they can read the rulebook too.

The Protestant and Papacy players should (if they can) read about the religious actions/conflicts they can do.

Andy, please read up on the piracy rules.

Martin (I think) and Barry (and me too), please read up on the new world exploration actions.

Keep in mind that there's a formal diplomatic phase in each turn in which deals can be struck. The binding parts of the negotiations are those which involve transfer of cards, keys (spaces on the board), loan of navies, etc, i.e. things that *immediately* change the state of the game. Promises to do things in the future mean nothing in the sense that they are non-binding.   ]]> Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:47:12 +0000 http://wigan-wargames.co.uk/wiganwargames//forum_posts.asp?TID=2804&PID=16197#16197 http://wigan-wargames.co.uk/wiganwargames//forum_posts.asp?TID=2812&PID=16196#16196 Author: krisgibbo

Yeah what was wrong with Spinal taps song, I thort they were deep and thought provoking, for example how about this small peice of poetry fitting of even the Bard..

....The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin
That's what I said.
The looser the waistband,
the deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read.

Yep, happy bloody birthday Will. I remember my 42nd. birthday. Things were so much better in the olden days. Trams ran on time, GW made figures from metal and the lyrics to songs really meant something...
