    I couldn't settle down my house in time to make it to the Zoom. I caught the end of it on you tube though. Thought about making a live comment, but figured most people were focused on Zoom.

    Looked awesome on YouTube. Some cool things like the different colors on the bases and explosion graphic.

    I have to check out the next game, and see how this works.

    Since Microsoft took over Skype, they have abandoned Linux support, with video quality is now too bad to host games. I converted my laptop to Linux to assist with a college project, and don't want to pay for Windows 10 Pro.

    This might be a viable alternative process.

    Hello everyone

    This week I will not be hosting a game. It will be back next week. I have the AC contractor coming over to do some work and I want to spend the evening with my family. Thanks for understanding.

    Hello everyone
    The next game is on Thursday 7/9 at 7pm est. Zoom will be live around 630pm or so. Youtube at 7pm ish. I have taken most of the last week and a half off (some me time) Youtube this week will most likely have just my voice along with the video. We are trying out a new feature of a second person dealing out the damage. This should free me up to breath and bit during the game. Please join us this week and see if the Germans can break there losing streak. I have the usual suspects but if you are interested in watching or getting involved send me a message.

    Just saw this and you know I am in. Will be good to see the guys again. Also just noticed that this weekend was Historicon so I guess this will be the substitute for that.

    So, 4 PM Pacific time. I might be able to make that. Do I have to have a Zoom account? What will I need to play from my side, if you need an extra player?

    Hello Everyone

    I am looking at Hosting a game this Saturday around 1pm ish Maybe a little later. It will be an afternoon game. I know most of my usual suspects can play but I am looking to add a few others and maybe a few from across the pond. Several factors are at work with the game, 1 my son should be home (he said he was coming home), 2 its my daughters impromptu Prom. Not sure yet if I am getting drafted to help set up. For those who are interested let me know and I will send you the information. I will base the game mission on haw many people want/can play.

    I do believe I have most of the audio issues worked out and at a least you should here me. I am also building some new graphics for the feed.


    Thank Again

    Mike

    If he is home and not busy helping with the prom thing, he said we would help. It should also make the audio more interesting too.

    Awesome Oldguy59!!

    Awesome face-timing with fellow Forum members! Thanks for letting me play, even if I was the first guy down.

    Thanks ever so much, Mike, for hosting, and to Sean for his assistance.

    Great to talk to all the players, while remaining at a safe distance. Great fun!

    Another great game today. The usual group and OLDGUY59 joined us. After each game can't say how much Mike has put into this to give us all some playtime and get together with old and new friends.

    It was good to have sound on youtube today.
    I had to bail after an hour or so - what was the outcome?

  43. #93

    thanks for watching!
    I would call it a draw to minor victory for the Italians. 50% losses on both sides with 1 Caproni surviving.

    Mike may think it was a minor Italian victory (imagine the GM also playing and calling the game?) but we Central Powers know better and our reports are full of victory!

    Ok, we crashed into ourselves downing one of our own but hey, that's war.
