In the Sumerian game, streaming became a problem and we experienced some technical difficulties. Eventually the game switched from Skype to Zoom so that we could press on.

My ancients' collections are in 6mm and 25/28mm. Keeping to 25/28mm is probably the best course of action but I have a few Biblical/Chariot Wars projects to either finish or kick off.
