F:AT Here I Stand Game 2

Wow...this thing is going belly up before we even get out of the gate.

For some reason I got that admonition about the Haps backward. I'm sure Bill will serve well as the cowardly French.

I pegged Gary Sax as Hapsburg, if he's cool with it.

Tom and JC- let me reach out to these people and see if they're in or not...we'll give 'em until tommorrow morning. I'm pretty sure Matt is in, he's in the UK though so there's a time difference.

Haps are fine with me.

And nobody make fun of my hat again! Do you know how long it takes for me in the morning to get myself as good looking as you can see me on this photo-realistic painting?

Beware of my pirates, that's all I'm gonna say for now...

Pop PC ahead of me as I'm just about (hopefully) to start a new job so will be extremely pre-occupied for the rest of the month .... plus I haven't even read the rules (I have just been re-reading Samurai Swords, Fortress America, Space Crusade, and Blockmania rules plus now have bloody techy IT documentation to read so the ol' brain is a bit full) and have never used cyberbox - PBeM Vassal is all I can claim. And I'm UK as as well.
I'll play game 3 or fill in as the last minute emergency replacement cannon fodder player.

I'm more of a game 3 type as well, as I'm off on holiday tomorrow for 2 weeks - I'm in the UK as well.

Norman (aka PC!)

No doubt.

As it stands now, I see:

Turkey: Schlupp
Haps: Sax
England: Barnes
France: Bill Abner, though I haven't gotten an email from him
Pope:
Protestants:

With Matt throwing in on one of the two religious sides I guess. If anybody can dig up a final player we're good. Also, please send me your email address/ACTS login name if you haven't already.

I haven't heard back from Psuedointellectual, so let's slate in those scrubs. Abner's in, he just needs to get his ACTS together. Har har.

I would be intrested, as there seems to be space in this game. Thou I will need this weekend to read the rules as I have never played the game before. I can play either one, the 6th player can choose.

OK I'm signed up for ACTS...now on to the rules.

A more modest hat for me - I call Protestants!

What exactly am I supposed to download? I have a pdf of the boardgame rules from a few months ago.

Go here:

home.comcast.net/~ebeach/downloads.html

And get the cyberboard installer if you don't have it already and the version 2 Here I Stand gamebox.

Register on ACTS:

acts.warhorsesim.com/login.asp

And email me (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) your ACTS name/email address.

Read up on the Protestant stuff. You can skip all of the new world stuff and ships, and can read the combat parts later. You will want to read about the reformation and your section at the back of the rulebook, especially about the Schmalkaldic League.

Thanks for joining up!

I was going to ask about ACTS. I dled Cyberboard and the HIS files and (after taking about 2 hours to get it working) started a test game to get a feel for how it works, but I couldn't figure out how the card thing worked. Anyway, I'll sign up over there and send you info.

So are we just waiting for a blasphemous Papist for me to glower at disapprovingly?

Yes. Is Matt active on any other thread?

Well, keep in mind: he is the Vicar of Christ, so he answers to a higher authority only...

Fortunately this gives me some time to go over the rules again.
