Update: New Blogger

Finally able to update this to the new version of Blogger. So from now on, instead of having to have a single monolithic post per game that I keep updating, I can do smaller bite-size updates and use tags to associate them with an individual game, and these tags can act as the Index of games for the site, a control you can now find on the right side bar.

I am hoping this will make it easier for me to update the site on a more frequent basis.

That said, as people I am currently playing games with will attest, my recent work schedule has been very hectic and I have been having trouble keeping up with the games, let alone the site.

I will slowly but surely migrate my current ongoing games to this format:

• Pax Romana, Sc.5 - 102
• Pax Romana, Sc.5 - 104
• Here I Stand - 105
• Here I Stand - 110
  

Pax Romana 104: Scenario 5 - Turn 2 (AM 5-8)

The East is up next as well.

The force debarks in Myra, marches overland to Xanthus, where it reboards ships before sailing through Rhodes (paying 1T to do so) on its way to Crete. 1Gar and 1HI are dropped in Cnossos, while the other Gar and HI end the turn in Gorton.
