For me, carving the battle up makes more sense. Even fighting only the center sector provides a huge battle. If you are ever interested in giving a remote game a try, let me know. I think remote gaming would fit your situation very well. No travel time. No set up. No table in the way. Simply pull up a chair to your computer, sit back, relax, and watch your decisions unfold on a table 4,500 miles away.

One of the most enjoyable aspects for me is some post game analysis, which we do not always have the time to do. This is espeically true of historical scenarios with rules such as Bloody Big Battles: read the history, play the game and discuss:).Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.com
