Hi guys,
sorry for having kept you waiting. It's been a crazy past few days. So, what's happened this season?
I'm having a slight déjà -vu in that it appears something of an East-West confrontation is shaping up, something which had long been the prevalent alliance structure in the other game I'm GMing (a 1648 game), which led to something like WW1 trench-warfare for a good number of years before a critical stab utterly changed the European situation. Though of course our game's a far cry from that extreme situation. Really, I should some day delve into the mail you kindly CC me and get down to all the nefarious stuff that I trust is happening. Though unfortunately my schedule will have to relax before I can indulge in some of that intriguing correspondence-snooping again. In the meantime, I hope the game's still proving a fun challenge for you lot.
I've scheduled the Summer 1942 Retreats for Saturday, 13 August. The day the wall was built here in Berlin...
Liebe Grüsse,
Charles
