Fool me once, Part 1 Imagination campaign June 1803

 Staying 'in character ' as Kardeef of Daharra, Roger repeated the old saying, " Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me."


  Spokesman for Kardeef.

Evidently Col. Exorcisti's second incursion is not being waved off as a mistake  by an overzealous border noble.  Daharran army units on the Northern border have been told to prepare to march 'south' at a time to be determined.

  Will the wrath of Daharra's ruling class  fall upon Fuddland?

 We will play and plot this afternoon,  Barry and Greg as well as Roger have decisions to make.  I merely have to host in 90 degree heat and keep my friends from heat exhaustion.  One big electric fan, lots of ice water, an air conditioned house to fall back to.

I detect a little Irish influence in the spokesperson's genes?

Ray,
Needed to put up someone with the proper level of credulity for the message. The actual declaration of war was presented today, in person but lacks a verified photo....so is it just imagination anyway?

Good luck with the heat. Why is the AC house a back up and not the main plan? 😀

Sounds like things are hotting up in the campaign, both literally and figuratively! I look forward to vicarious viewing of the ensuing hostilities!

Stew, we had a cool wet spring, the level of heat predicted seemed unlikely the week before, when planning the game. Setting up the tables requires transportation from the house to detached garage ---some 100 feet distant, of troops, terrain, game detritus and setting up lawn chairs. I had completed the terrain move and had the Cossack raiders deployed to the table.

Inside I had the Battle for Germany game set up for the Fulda Gap scenario and some maneuver work on the border areas of the three countries. As the guests arrived it was determined to start in the house. And there we stayed, fully occupied the afternoon. Inside with cool drinks and good friends.

So the Friday old guys played and lived to tell another day. Which is to say.....

Keith, Glad to oblige, we dodged the worst of the heat, it only got to 89 F outside and today should get to no more than the low 70's.
Roger did present Barry a declaration of war, we checked that everyone had the rules for a military campaign and will therefore start a Theater of War game via email soon. And maybe video chat if we can all 'figure it out.'
Some humorous stories and some interesting developments occurred in the imagination campaign portion of the afternoon, sheep being used as collateral and a troupe of unfortunate entertainers, doors being opened to scenes of impropriety and shock.

I have at least two posts to write up this weekend, and I think you'll enjoy both.

Now off today to Tabletop Games, where I will see some epic scale pike and shot the staff there are working on.

So many games, so little time.
