I've known Iain Dickie personally for some 30 odd years, as we used to do tabletop at a mutual friends place back in the day. I used to mainly play Ancients and board war-games with them then, but he really does know his Napoleonic stuff. This should be good. O0

By-the-by, Asid, this is rather brilliant and makes me almost wish I was THERE playing all the Napoleonic games rather than packed into the area around the battlefield.

Best,

I've been ferreting about and can't come up with the answer:  they're playing FoG:N, yeah?

That begs the question...  where are you?  Stateside?  Or did you make the trip after all?

I also listened for a while. The sound quality wasn't great, and the people playing with miniatures in a corner of the screen were barely visible. It was a nice idea, but it felt as if they wanted to do a bit too much: expert discussion, showing off SoW: Waterloo and having the battle fought out with miniatures.

I enjoyed the mix and the commentary. As far as sound quality, you take what you can get with an internet stream. It wasn't perfect, but I didn't find it so bad that I couldn't listen to it.

I look forward to watching more of it once they post it to YouTube.
