Order Up! The Deep Breath Before the Plunge

 

Now comes the fun part.

The Major Generals of the British and French, distracted by larger concerns, have appointed trusted sub-commanders to head out into the countryside.

In the case of the French, procure supplies and return them to division command.

In the case of the British, prevent the capture of supplies while limited damage to the surrounding countryside.  Wouldn't do to upset the locals, what what?

These two sub-commanders, both full blown Colonels, have appointed the usual suspects, Lt. Colonels each, to go about their daily tasks.  The Colonels have sketched out brief plans and orders, but by and large are prepared to leave the details of the operations to their sub-commanders.  

In game terms, this is where the fun begins.  We'll sit down and parse out the orders on-camera, find out where the forces are likely to catch sight of each other, and adjudicate any potential friction that arises from there.  You'll see the video in a few weeks, but we'll also post updates here from time to time.  Sometimes we'll spoil the videos and sometimes the videos will spoil the blog posts, but if you follow one or the other, you'll get a solid idea of what's going on, with only a bit of delay between the two.  For now, I'm hoping to keep the Colonels (read: players) one jump ahead of you, dear reader, so that we can spoil plenty of things here without spoiling the fog of war for them.
