Hannibal and Scipio Africanus are a hard pair to beat, certainly from the ancient era - both less reliant on the abilities of their subordinates than Alexander the Great, who would come in a close third in my opinion. I haven't seen any candidates from the Middle Ages, I suspect partly...

I should have time at the weekend, so I suggest Sesn and I swap places in the roster for this rotation, if that's ok with everybody. That will give me a chance to have a more focussed read of the logs - looks like things are improving!

Sirs I write to apologise for my recent absence from the front lines, and to rant briefly about the vagueries of life, plans and the fairer sex. Often a gentleman can manage to fend off the machinations of one or even two of these adversaries. But when all three join forces, intent on driving...

Congrats, Romeo!! Excellent stuff! By the way, guys, my life/time is imploding at the moment with several no-notice trips all strung together and without even forum access, so I've already had to temporarily quit one SG. (@Sesn, M60 - please play my current set of Confederate turns, and I'll...

Well first thing tomorrow turned into another no-notice trip :mad: Things are happening here which are taking up way too much of my time, and I don't think it's fair on you guys to further disrupt this SG. I'm really sorry, but until things here improve, I'm going to have to request a skip :(...

Apologies, gents, an unexpected trip to Nottingham has rather engulfed my weekend. I am now back, and will play first thing tomorrow... Again, apologies for not even being able to post an apology.

Last time I handed over control, there was a large and robust Mayan nation! :wow: I've got it, but am not entirely sure I will be able to play this weekend. Probably, but not definitely. Maybe Monday ;)

Ah! Thank you ;)

Welcome aboard Graham! And yes, i am having problems seeing the links - I can only use attachments... :rolleyes:

I was going to say, didn't cancelling our MA with the Mayans rather ruin it? ;) Nice work, M60 - it seems that those pesky followers of Smoke Jaguar wern't quite as tough as we'd imagined! Edit - awww! I wanted to look at the save, but I can't see it :rolleyes:

Oh that's cool :) Excellent tag, indeed! @Nem, it's Obelix ;)

What tag?? And shame on you for not knowing Asterix! You know, they've even been translated into Latin... Not sure how many of the Latin puns work in those versions... :hmm: Ok, nem, who's your favourite character-with-a-silly-name in the comics? Mine is the British chieftain...

Ah, I thought the first one must be medieval... But I never really read much Horace, so I missed the second. Interesting! As for Asterix, i think I find them funnier now than I did when I was a child - awesome stuff, especially when Caesar appears :lol:

Got it - play tomorrow, unless the world ends. Edit - Bah! It was late when I wrote that, and what I should have said was "... unless the world ends or I CAN'T SEE THE SAVE!!"

Is that a quote, and if so, who?
