You are right...Thanks for the kind comments, James. You are right, it was a terrifically fun battle to play. I have tweaked the scenario since so that the end game is even more dramatic as Simon's troops are able to be more closely involved instead of just giving chase the whole game.<br />Brian says he enjoyed it very much, and although not the same as "being there" it was a satisfying approximation. The Facetime really allowed him to see exactly where his units were going and tweak them as necessary but I think you are right, the map allowed him to think big picture as a commander as well. As he lives half the year (with all his toys) half way around the globe, we will certainly do this again with him in the driver's seat.Bill Slavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05056237500818603134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102523900633432284.post-90308266672462414602020-04-21T00:54:10.461-04:002020-04-21T00:54:10.461-04:00A fantastic 'rendition' of Coa and excelle...A fantastic 'rendition' of Coa and excellent example of play-by-internet Bill. Your terrain is outstanding and lovely figures. It's a great battle to recreate with its rearguard action and race for the bridge, isn't it? Sounds like yours lived up to expectations.<br />How was the experience for Brian? I'd imagine that it would be more of a true commander experience (direction from afar) and that would add tension and excitement, but one would miss the tactile and visual joy of 'being there'?James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102523900633432284.post-8637565736418039672020-04-18T17:50:51.938-04:002020-04-18T17:50:51.938-04:00Thank you.
