Folks: We ran a remote game last night depicting a French invasion of Alsace in 1896, prompted by the (quite historical) construction of Festung Kaiser Wilhelm II, the first "modern" fortification in Europe. (I visited the fort a couple of years ago, and have wanted to run a game based on it ever since!) The AAR is here, with all the details: link Cheers, A. Gregory |

Your game looks great!
It's a very interesting fortress. I use it as a basis for Prussian fortresses on Venus at the International Settlement. |

The Wright Brothers are going to p*ssed in 7 years time (1903) when they discover Europe has already mastered heavier than air flight… ;o) |

Billy: If you want to have alternate history, some things have got to be alternated! (Plus, I didn't find any pedal-powered dirigibles in 28mm!) Cheers, A. Gregory |

Billy, plenty of contenders for that crown… I know a few aussies who'd have a word with you, for instance. ;->= AG, very interesting AAR, and I'll have to check out the apps as well. Hope the 'tablet' version may work on a laptop. Doug |

TheBeast: Yes, it works on PCs and tablets and smartphones. This is an advantage of building web apps – anything which can run a web browser can run them. Check it out. We are doing some different games, with a release about once a month – we are always open for new ideas and suggestions. Cheers, A. Gregory |
