This just in…

So I advertise an ECW PBEM campaign on my old blog about 3 years ago and got… <<crickets>>.

This time. Well this time the response was a bit unexpected.

Thanks to everyone who chucked their hat in the ring, (and to those that subsequently took it back out again to make room for others).

In the interests of fairness, I rolled a dice for each of those still in the mix and modified the scores by +1 if they were known to be really into the period and +1 if they’d sent me a bribe. Minus 1 was applied to all those deemed to be getting too much “gaming action” of late.

Two re rolls were needed to resolve a couple of ties and the eventual winners on this occasion were…

Drumroll…

Graham C and Chris / Nundanket.

The dice Gods further decreed that Graham will command the tax dodging sons of liberty and Chris the storm troopers of British imperialism.

Apologies to everyone else but I hope to run another campaign for the same period in late autumn and other interested folks will definitely get a look in then (mainly cos I’m going to bar these two). Lol. 

Thankfully it’s just a crappy game so it’s not like the rest of you missed out on a Nobel prize or something. 

Graham and Chris will be getting their background campaign info in the next few days and I hope to get started reporting on the campaign itself in the 1st week of September - ish.

This is the hexed version of the strategic map that both Commanders will be presented with. 1 hex on here will translate to an entire 6x4 table when fighting battles. Fair warning. Not all of the terrain will turn out to be as shown and units will remain hidden from their opponents until they occupy an adjacent hex or are scouted out at longer range.

Thanks again everyone.
