The interesting thing about a multiplay...Hi Martin<br /><br />The interesting thing about a multiplayer campaign, as opposed to a solo one, is that you have to deal with real people. And, more important, real egos.<br /><br />The difficult thing about email ones is that it all has to be done in writing. And you only have to look at the forums to see how easy it is to take the wrong intention from the written word.<br /><br />And its made even more difficult by the fact that the whole thing is organised by a Game Master who has his own game plan.<br /><br />Like I said before, very interesting. But also very frustrating. I just hope that the campaign holds together long enough to see how it all works out.<br /><br />Paulthistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-79871239324713500482009-08-25T16:09:53.603+02:002009-08-25T16:09:53.603+02:00Small wonder that by the time of the Waterloo Camp...Small wonder that by the time of the Waterloo Campaign, Napoleon's digestive tract could only be described as "delicate". Umpteen years of rough living in the field had left its mark.<br /><br />Murat was never very good at the day to day grind of reports and receipts. Like Custer, he was all "dash and saber rattling", but they both shined on the battlefield. Like any commander, you must use the tools that are available. (But I sure would send a sharply worded note to his Chief of Staff!)Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440393996804815125noreply@blogger.com
