Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

[Bobitron]

Huzzah! My favorite character makes it throught the first chapter of my favorite game. I told you this was going to be great...

Uh-oh, there are those high expectations again...

I promise I will do my best to make this fun!

EXPECTATIONS MET!

On the good news front, it looks like I will have an internet connection at home soon, probably tomorrow.

On the bad news front, looks like Vidal will have to keep up the 'strong and silent' aspect of his personality for a while; not confident that The Expert has his computer running well. I'll talk to him soon and get an update.

Uh oh. We're all going different places, and everyone knows what happen when the group gets separated. I foresee trouble ahead.

Bah. I'm not concerned.

Here's another vote for the "Expectations met" camp, for sure. I'd even go with "surpassed"

I was digging around for photos related to the French-Algerian war and found some stuff. Some of these are older or more modern than our game's time period, but still interesting. Let me know if this post is obnoxious/cluttering up the thread too much, Shaman, and I'll cut it.

Hey look! There's Pyotr, looking at the camera instead of the chess game... He's thinking.. Amateurs. Oh.. Anyway. Definately a great game, one of the best I've ever been in. I don't foresee splitting the group up as too much of a problem. Most of my best games start with all the characters in different parts of their lives with events bringing them together.

I'm glad everyone is enjoying the game!

That's a great shot of the Algiers waterfront - if I have my bearings correct (which is iffy at best), the arcade marks the Boulevard Carnot and the Casbah sits behind the row of French colonial buildings.

Some other pictures of Algiers and of the Legion can be found here and here.

Dudes! I have like six browser windows open and my computer has been connected and turned on for the past two hours straight! I'll catch up on everything tomorrow morning. Glad to be back! Thanks to all for your patience.

Awesomeness!

Was it the OS re-load that made the difference?

Well, that's easy for you two to say! Marcel is going to jump training, and Pyotr will have a nice lil vacation in the desert. Vidal and Normand, on the other hand, are on their way to face the horrors of an.. Hospital! The terrible food, the crazy doctors, the overly-.. Err "Enthusiastic" nurses... We have reasons to be worried!

P.S. Actually, my previous post should have had a smiley. I was just making a joke on the common "splitting the party is -bad-" concept.

Here's a 1024x768 shot of it.
