Personally I would really prefer to just throw in the towel at this point, in this and the other game. I do not really have the desire to play PbP anymore, no matter how much I like Pixie as a character. Too many years of too little happening. Kind of want to be free of the need to look for updates. N(on)PC, G(roup)PC, C(orpse)PC, whatever, for Randlay at this point.
My main problem is visualization. I have done mass combat of remakes of WW2 battles in HO scale on a military green wool blanket for the battle ground with a full sread of landscape and flora of the battle sight. But as primitive as it was, we had a battle scene before us and I could work with that. I can work with s hex map or a square grid map, but I have had troubles with visualizing this battle for some reason.
I know, I know. I really like seeing the terrain and trees and brooks and such.
