I will put something together Neil. I haven't had time to play and write AARs, but I do have a bit of time the next few days to put together a scenario. I will have it up sometime during the week.
Thanks again for overseeing things. :hatsoff:

Great Eric.
I can't wait to get my teeth into another adventure.
I am happy to write up on in the future, but want to get a bit more time in first. I have something in the back of my mind though.
Rob.
Neil,
I have a mission called "Convoy" that I put on the forum when I was working on the "Rules For Merchantmen" project in June I think. Since Eric has come to our rescue, once again, I'll tweak it and send it to both you and Eric as an extra scenario to be used when needed, like a spare tire.
You two do far too much for our group and that isn't fair to you, but is very much appreciated.
:minis: :beer::thanks::drinks:
Hi Bob,
Looking forward to seeing it. Thanks.
I ran a couple of convoy games using the Pirates of the Spanish Main ships as the merchants, with a very basic rule mechanism for movement and targeting the merchants. Folks enjoyed the tension between trying to take out the merchants while having to fend off the escorts, while the merchant team enjoyed the tension between maneuvering to safety and trying to get off the board as quickly as possible.
Cheers Bob. Look forward t o that one. Hopefully by keeping things going once players get a handle on writing scenarios we can expand and it Wiill take the, not pressure, foot of the accelerator a bit. Then we can just cruise along.
Well I'm taking a sea break (only from doing AAR's), will still be online but for two weeks no gaming, ahhhh....or should that be AHRRRRR.
We will all have to content ourselves for a time with waiting for the AARs of the other Captains who are still catching up then Neil.
I have still got plenty of the old ones to read up on.
Rob.
I'm also taking an extended break from SoG solo play. I've gone back to some online games and don't know when I'll return here to post AAR's?
Maybe when Ares finally gives us an update on Wave 3? Cheers!
:sad: Very sorry to hear that Jim.
Do keep an eye on us at least.
The odd message to let us know how you are going on would not go amiss.
I sure we will all miss your input.
Rob.:salute:
Oh no! That long?
Well I guess we will have to find a way to amuse ourselves without amazing pirate caves and pirate ship conversions.
Sorry to hear that Jim. As Rob said keep dropping in now and then and let us know your ok. Will miss your input, terrific AAR's and witty banter.
Take Care, Neil
At two cons, I ran the merchants while some players ran the escorts and others the pursuers. To keep things moving quickly - time constraints of slotted events - I had a few cards from which to choose, mostly the three number 5 cards. I would move the first ship based on the most expedient course to the targeted edge of the playing surface given what was happening, and then moved every other merchant along the same path, trying to keep the distance between ships uniform. This way, the majority of the time was spent on the players' ships.
That's more likely than you realize? We might see pirate ships in 10 years or so? :wink:
I check in here at least once a day, so that's not going to change. Setting up, playing and then writing decent AAR's for the solo games takes a significant amount of time. That's still something I also want to try on the Aerodrome, but breaking in there and finding the additional time isn't easy.
At the moment I'm building ships in World of Warcraft and I have a friend who wants me to start up in Pathfinder Online. Too many games and not enough time. :wink:
Good to hear!
I can tell you if you when you finally find more time and do come back to the solo campaign, set up, play several games at once, and then try to write many AARs at once afterwords it'll be even slower than playing and writing the one after the other. At least if you are anything like me...
My main computer has packed in. I had 2 AAR's to publish with photos etc. They will have to wait until said computer comes back hopefully cured of the scurvy.
I will have September's mission up sometime today.
Super Eric.
Rob.
No need for such praise, Rob. :wink:
There is when you are getting withdrawal symptoms Eric.:shock:
Rob.
Eric can you post Septembers AAR?
Know things are difficult at present, hope everythings ok.
Let me know if anything I can do.
Will ring if I get the opportunity.
Neil
I guess there will be no September mission then Neil?
Rob.
Rob, I have one halfway written up. I will be able to complete it later this week.
Neil's a Godsend, isn't he? It was an amazing experience meeting him in person. I look forward to doing the same with you, Rob.
Both of you have been extremely helpful with admin work, picking up my slack, etc. The past few weeks have been exceptionally busy with life; it has been a great blessing to know I have friends such as you to have my back.
Whether my scenario is for September or October is irrelevant; I look forward to sharing it with all of you.
Very kind of you to say so Eric.
Neil and Chris, have been instrumental in getting Doncaster off the ground this year.:clap: I could not have managed without them, and this all helped me to take up a bit of the slack for yourself.
These youngsters seem to thrive on it all, with or without the Manley Flu.:happy:
Rob.
