| ironic backdrop location to work on the GNW |
Having managed to clock up 22,000 miles in the last 10 days I am afraid my work on the BLB GNW supplement may include some errors. These are only partly due to the time zone confusion but also my mistake in working from different iterations of the same documents on desktop and data key simultaneously.

| Working hard to get this supplement into position |
It seemed a good idea at the time but, I have realized there is
many a slip twixt cup and lip as I add paragraphs and then don’t update only to
wonder where the hell that last bit ended up!
I have been working hard on getting the text ready for
Clarence to lay out. I am pleased that several email conversations over the
last four weeks have helped reshape some of the amendments I have been
finalizing for the Swedes.

| It is not a lightweight piece |
I would like to name check Mark Shearwood, Mark
Allen, Charles Singleton and DOB amongst others for insights, questions,
thoughts and a ‘brake’ on making the Carolinians too powerful. Little points
made here and there have stimulated several re-writes.
Nevertheless, the core rules are pretty much done. It is not
a flimsy piece of window dressing but a solid step away from the stately pace
of Flanders into the wide-open spaces of the North East.
Swedish power in the game play comes from a combination of
speed, manoeuvrability and morale quality not from über factors in combat.
 |
| It will be loaded with detail and additional 'theatre specific' mechanics |
Having
given it very careful consideration, I think the equalization must appear in
the final reckoning man on man when all things were relatively even. A Swede
fighting for his life is probably no more dangerous than a Russian or a Saxon
doing the very same.
The writing binge should continue as the next few weeks involves more or less continuous travel overseas. The supplement will be out this year if everything goes to plan.
Oops, seats belts on, we're off again!
