The last report was on the battle of Chimichanga. There is one more battle on the dock, where Flounce attacks Sweeta in Ikea. I will not be posting a battle report on this one here, but will circulate it privately. There does not seem to be much interest.

I always looked. (sniff)

Dear 21e Rgnt

Send me your e-mail to my email at sigurd@eclipse.net and I'll send you a copy of the report.

I always enjoyed the reports. The only suggestion I'd make is to link to maps or photos to help follow the narrative.

Likewise.

You would get a much greater response if your reports included something other than just text.

Sorry I do not have the ability to add photos and maps to it. Those are in the formal published after action report in the Society of Daisy Newsletter. If I upload them to a photo server I lose control of what they can be downloaded for. I create highly detailed maps showing almost every move and lots of pictures as well. I only have so much time and I prefer to devote it to the Society Newsletter – "Saxe N' Violets." The other fact is that I have found that people will look at the pictures and not read the text if you put the pictures in. The problem is that pictures tell you nothing. It is simply a snapshot of the game and about as disposable as family photos and videos. What is important is HOW the game works and how it runs, and what the procedure is, and how it holds together. Can't do that with photographs. Photographs and even maps are just like pretty flowers. If you sniff one, that's nice, gives you a pleasant momentary sensation and then you go on to the next flower. But you get no overall idea of how the game works.

You are making the mistake of assuming that what is not important or is of no consequence to you is likewise not important to anyone else.

You assume that you have the music and I have the notes.

Sorry - only verified members can post on the forums.
