G'Day Guys,
Almost everything went perfectly today but the little bit that didn't combined with some bad luck prevented us from having a good game. Fortunately that thing that went wrong is easy to fix IMHO.
In future we need to ensure that 2 people have all the files for the battle and have tested they can establish a multi-player game prior to the battle time.
Attendendance and xFire worked well to get us together and the coordination via email before hand was effective. We would have been fine if the second time I tried to install the map had not somehow corrupted my game files (I needed to do a complete uninstall/re-install to fix the problem).
Lady and gentlemen, I hope we are not discouraged by the games failure today. We were very very close to having the largest numbers of players playing a Les Grognards battle that I have heard of. This campaign idea is bearing fruit and with continued effort will be a great success.
So my recommendation is that we set up a time for another game in about a fortnight. We have a group of enthusiastic players and we will get this to work. I will coordinate with Gazfun, Romanov and AJ to pick a date. The time selected seemed to work for everyone.
cheers
