A question for TITK (those in the know)

What does the FC look like on the march?

Are there wagons? Is there a set formation? What is the procedure for camp? Do we forage? That kind of thing.

Cheers

Actually, I covered the order of march in a post a couple of pages back. Rangers out front by a half-day start, Light Cavalry on the flanks and covering the rearguard, Heavy Cavalry in the vanguard, the infantry in column - Jaeger, LeClerc and Clayborne, and the supply train following.

*facepalms* that's what I get for surfing without my glasses

Storey- That was brilliant! Very descriptive and soooo funny!

 

[TheWildFerret]

Excellent Storey... made me chuckle... sorry all for not getting my posts up... been busy at work... I'll try to get something up tomorrow, but right now I'm heading to bed.

I'll be home all day tomorrow, I'll probably be able to get a post up. Also, I've just realized that I have yet to post for my Spanish character yet in this book. I'll try to get a post up from his PoV, and maybe throw a few at the bottom of some old posts at the beginning of the book.

Storey -

Nuff said.

 

[Amric]

Erik- A fine post, and one well worth waiting for! John Brandon as a sergeant....Cool, someone else to help keep on eye on the merry band....

 

[TheWildFerret]

Thanks Amric... yeah there are a few plot twists I need to get caught up on.

Minor nitpick alert:

Lochlan was like that, but his was different, his mothers husband was a killer, there was no denying it.

I thought Lochlan and Alessandra were lovers, but not husband and wife? Or is Morgan thinking of some third guy we've never met?

Good posts, all! I'll try to get something up later today from Carl and Co.

 

[Amric]

Post up and the swordsmen are put into their place. They weren't supporting the pikes...They are NOW....

 

[Barkdreg]

posted another long-awaited JayJay post.
I know you guys missed me!

In hindsight I really doubt I have time for this. The curse of the Forummer who writes his own AAR, becomes an old hobo in a Corvette in EUtopia, and then realizes he's out of time... and has homework to do.

DuPont is a nice guy, though, so if anybody wants to adopt him he's up for grabs.

The only way to get over writers block is forcing oneself to sit down and type, I guess .

HGI: .

 

[unmerged(14268)]

How true, TheF.

Okay, post up. Not much, but it shows Kincaid is still alive. RJ, if you want Kincaid's report, he'll say he found nothing of interest but we can route the army to avoid the town.

EDIT: I have editted my post to flesh it out more. I also note that I wish Foppy was present so I could have used Marcantonio's quips on him instead.

Hello, everyone.

I been reading the excellent book "Book VI"

From what I seen, some work are very well written.

Can I join it? Or need somthing else.

Sapphire: Read the first post of the Book VI thread and then shoot a character sketch to Lord Durham. He'll set you up.

LD, SPI and S&T, eh? I do have one SPI game (I'm still catching up since I only started buying up games a few years ago, and SPI games are harder to find nowadays for some reason...) called Cityfight. Lots of chrome (They spend 30 pages on combat engineers. w00t!), solid command and control rules, and a cool double-blind system with asymetrical line of sight rules. Awesome, awesome, awesome stuff . I only have two titles from the descendent of the SPI-mantle, Decision Games: Totaler Krieg and Battle Cry of Freedom. TK is, IMHO, the best WW2 strategic game ever made (if I can say that in front of HOI players...), and BCoF is why I've been so lax about my postings these past weeks. On the other hand, BCoF probably would not have been published in the SPI era. It is simply too out of the box to have been taken seriously back then.

Alas, it's hard to find face-to-face grognards these days. Most of my gaming time has gone towards the gaming group I've started at Berkeley, gEECS (click if you dare see what I look like), where we play Euro-style games.

Sorry I have not posted lately. I had a conferance on a crusades project I needed to attend up in the frozen Tundra of Buffalo this past weekend and have been working 10-12 hour shifts since I got back. Fortunately I do have off tomorrow so I shall attempt to catch up and perhaps write up a post if time permits/oppurtunity exists.

But I am still here and will continue to try and add something to the story, if at all possible.

Bad news, my great-aunt died. I have to go to the wake tonight and the funeral tomorrow. I probably won't post, but then again, maybe the emotion of it will inspire something.

 

[TheWildFerret]

Sorry for your loss Phalanx. Take the time you need. We'll be here when you get back

 

[unmerged(14268)]

Post up. Just raising the compassion bar for all other officers, that's all .

I'll be scarce for the next week. If you need any of my characters, go ahead and use them.
