Ok, I've got a new game. It's called see-what-we-can-do-to-Vortan's-homelife-while-investigating-the-potential-to-power-a-small-European-country.
Hey, TheDragon. I heard that everyone in the game was planning to gang up on you. Anyone who has signed a NAP with you is a NAP Breaker!*

*** My sense of spelling went about 3 hours ago.

My apologies on holding things up (I already sent a similar e-mail to TheDragon & Tbert) .... my holiday travelling has had more of an impact on my ability to take care of the pre-game planning that I had expected.
I will be returning home tomorrow, and will be ready by Saturday.

It's fun to see the different styles people use from anal retentive like me to the more 'messy' style from for instance Smashie (you've got 5 workers doing nothing Smashie!). And most players not using any of their spies on the first turn, which causes them to have to waste a lot of wok on building up EFF.
Anyway, it's nice to see all the different styles...have a look yourself!

Speaking personally it would be nice to make fewer mistakes! I think I will have to join the - I'm getting too old to be in so many games brigade - you know the one with LM, Saladin, Calidus and Smashface in it
Now WHY did it do THAT!

Previous post was made BEFORE pain clinic put me on a morphine equivalent painkiller!
Thinking now rates as DIFFICULT, staying awake is bad enough but hey things hurt less so a lower attention span is ... err ... is ... what was I saying ... oh yes! A lower attention span is WORTH IT!
Will have to play fewer games. Did I really just say that

Bryk takes the game as a solo victory.
I'd be intersted in player feedback from this one, we were in effect testing out two possible rules variants. - LEV increases were spread among the troops, but also spy information was useless due to the pulished turns, so the spy province option was only useful for EFF. How much did people use these options?

A lot of dropouts ruined the game, unfortunately, as I was hoping there'd be more tactical fighting (no chance to hide resources, etc.). I'd be willing to have another try in a few months.
As for the LEV, I knew I wouldn't use it in this one and I don't think it left me disadvantaged.
