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

That sounds good to me. It will keep things moving along when people are busy or have unforseen issues. I don't see an issue with 48 hours rather than three days, but whatever.

I think Shadow's idea of extending it a day over the weekend is reasonable - we'll play it by ear and see how things work out.

I think the thing that would make this work is the fact that it is a military game, with most people following orders from the DM anyhow.

In stuff like our current engagement, that's true, though you all have shown great initiative as well while working on behalf of the unit.

Many of the engagements ahead include elements that are far less structured - and hopefully in time your characters will move into positions of greater responsibility, calling the shots for the NPCs...

I think my comment came out wrong. I was thinking more along these lines; if a character has to be NPC'd, it is easy enough to fall back on having him just following the orders of whatever NCO or officer is in direct command.

Ah, oui, je vous comprends!

Not a problem for me.. I check at least once daily, usually more..

Only on week-end days do I sometimes not make it. Or, well, when my computer decides to pout or something.

I'll sit with the majority on this one. I know I'm often the one you guys are waiting for and if you don't mind taking control to keep it moving, I approve. I'll try to pay more attention and at least put up something brief if I notice there's something going on. I shouldn't have any problems from now on anyway, because two of my last four days at work are Saturday and Sunday, then I'm on to nights (when I have some spare time) throughout September.

Looking further ahead, there's a chance I'll have to step back from EN World beginning November 1st. I'm doing some training in Missouri until probably late January, then it's off to Germany for a year as an MP platoon sergeant. I'm darned excited, but I don't know right now what kind of internet access I'll have throughout all this. I'm sure I'll be able to get on once we're settled in Germany, but I won't know about the possibilites during training until I get there. I'll let everyone know when I do.

Couldn't they give you training credits for playing in this game?

Oooooo, good call. Small Unit Tactics and Dealing with Sneaky Insurgents 101. That should get you to 2nd Lt in no time.

No worries - we'll keep Vidal going for you when your access gets sketchy.



In other news...this doesn't have anything to do with the game, but I thought the video was cool: Click the link in the post...

Shaman has noted elsewhere that he has a busy week coming, so I'm not sure this really will affect anything, but Keith let me know he is pretty busy and won't be able to post for a little while. Should be back on in a day or two.

Yes, but I'll always make time for this game!

No worries - looks like I'm not the only one who's busy at the moment.
