Steven, If any gamers are interested in getting together, I'm all for it. I'm not good at organizing this kind of thing. Somehow people will have to get in...
Bob I too have Renaissance troops [ Swiss, Dutch, some Irish & Scots odds & ends ] looking for a new set of rules to maneuver by. If you need more playtesters,...

I've just had a GM with a personal tragedy drop out of both of his games. The table is BZ-3 all day Saturday. Both games were Ancients, specifically Dacians...
